What is the 10 minute timer good for?
Ten minutes can change your day: a short meditation, a tidy-up blitz, or a proper break away from the screen. This free 10 minute timer counts it down reliably.
The ten-minute rule is a favorite productivity trick — commit to just ten minutes of a dreaded task, and you will usually keep going. Set it, start, and let the alarm decide when you are done.

10 Minute Timer questions
How do I start the 10 minute timer?
Press the Start button and the countdown begins immediately. You can pause and resume at any point, or reset to start over.
Will the alarm sound if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer is driven by your device clock rather than the animation, so it keeps accurate time in background tabs. Keep the page open and make sure your device volume is on to hear the alarm.
Can I pause and resume the timer?
Yes — the Start button becomes Pause while running, and Resume when paused. Reset returns the timer to its full duration.
Is this timer free to use?
Completely free, with no account or signup. It runs entirely in your browser.
