1 Minute Timer ready. Press start to begin.

Each mark is one second

A minute is the smallest unit most people can actually feel. It is long enough to notice your breathing settle and short enough that nobody negotiates with it.

What a minute is good for

One minute of breathing

The shortest reset that reliably changes anything — six slow breaths, roughly.

A speaking limit

A round of introductions, a pitch, or a point somebody needs help finishing.

The starting wedge

When a task feels impossible, one minute of it is a proposal almost nobody refuses.

Questions

Will it make a sound when it finishes?

Yes — an alarm rings when the countdown reaches zero. The countdown also turns red and the tab title changes to "Time's up", so the end is visible as well as audible.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown runs from a real timestamp rather than counting frames, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and the remaining time shows in the tab title.

The hard part isn’t the timer

This page counts down, and that is all it does. Porotimer handles the part that decides whether the session actually works.

    Lock away what breaks focus

    Choose the apps you're allowed for the session. Porotimer puts everything else behind a wall until the timer ends — which is the one thing a page in a browser tab can never do.

  • Porotimer's guided break screen

    Breaks that actually rest you

    A calm scene and a breathing guide when the sprint ends, instead of five minutes of scrolling. You come back settled rather than scattered.

    Every sprint and break laid out in order. The day becomes something you can look back on, rather than something you try to remember.
