5 Minute Timer
Five minutes is one of the most versatile countdown durations. It's the perfect length for boiling eggs to a soft, jammy centre, taking a quick meditation or breathing break, or completing a single Pomodoro micro-segment when you need to ease into deep work. Teachers use 5-minute timers for classroom transitions and clean-up time. In the kitchen, it's ideal for resting meat after cooking or letting dough proof briefly. This free online 5-minute timer starts with one tap, plays an alarm when done, and works even when your screen is off or your browser tab is in the background.
