10 Second Timer

Ten seconds, on your mark.

0:10

10 Second Timer ready. Press start to begin.

Each mark is one second

Ten seconds is a countdown rather than an interval — a rinse, a hold, a start line. It is over before a timer app would have finished launching.

What 10 seconds is good for

A hold or a rinse

Mouthwash, a stretch at the end of its range, the last stretch of a breath.

A start line

A countdown everyone in the room can see, for anything that has to begin together.

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.

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.

  • Porotimer's allow list, with Study Focus selected

    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.

  • Porotimer's session path for the day

    See where the hours went

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