About the 2 Minute Digital Timer

Two minutes is easy to under- or over-shoot by feel, so the precise digital readout keeps everyone honest to the second.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2 minute digital timer keep accurate time in the background?

Yes. It counts down against the real clock rather than ticking in the tab, so your 2 minute digital timer stays accurate even if you switch tabs or lock your screen — and the alarm still sounds at zero.

Can I change the duration, or switch away from the digital clockface?

This page opens preset to 2 minutes on the Digital clockface, but you can set any duration and switch to a different clockface at any time using the controls below the timer.
