1 hour timer
Tap Start for a 1 hour countdown with a chime at the end.
What 1 hours are good for
An hour is a big block for focus. Most people do better splitting it (50/10 or two Pomodoros), but a full hour suits flow-heavy work like design or coding.
- A one-hour deep-work block
- Revision for a single topic
- Slow cooking and proofing
- Limiting screen or game time
Working in cycles? The Pomodoro timer alternates focus blocks and breaks for you and tracks your tasks.
Questions
How do I set a 1 hour timer?
Press Start on this page. The 1 hour countdown begins straight away and chimes when it reaches zero. No settings needed.
Will it work if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer stores the exact end time and reads the clock, so it is correct whenever you look. Browsers slow hidden tabs down, so the countdown in the tab title may update only about once a minute while you are elsewhere. The chime is scheduled on the audio clock and normally plays on time on desktop; a locked phone may hold it until you return.
Does the timer keep going if I close the page?
If you reopen this page before it ends, the countdown picks up where it should be, because the end time is saved in your browser. It cannot chime while the page is closed.
