About this page
This free online 1 minute timer counts down from 1 minute, or counts up to 1 minute if you prefer to see elapsed time. It is handy for a one-minute plank, a quick breathing break or timing a short speech. Choose Countdown or Count-up, then use Start, Pause and Reset. Everything runs in your browser — no app, sign-up or download.
