5-minute timer
Five minutes is a common steep for tea and a short break between errands. This page loads already set to five minutes so you can start without hunting for a preset.
The countdown rings only while this tab stays open. Closing the tab or locking the phone stops it.
0:05:00
How to use it
The hours, minutes, and seconds are filled in for five minutes. Click or tap the page once so the browser can play sound, then press Start. The large digits count down from 0:05:00.
Sound only starts after that first click. Closing the tab or locking the screen stops the countdown; it will not ring after that.
Common questions
Why does this page start at five minutes?
It is a preset for a short steep or break. You can still change the hours, minutes, and seconds before you press Start.
Will it ring if I close the tab?
No. Closing the tab or locking the screen stops the timer. Leave this tab open if you want to hear it at zero.
Do I have to click before there is sound?
Yes. The browser only allows audio after a tap or click on this page.
