10 Minute Timer

A simple, beautiful 10-minute countdown.

A 10 minute timer is perfect for power naps, focused work sprints, a quick game of speed chess, or timing a recipe step. The timer runs in your browser with no signups or ads. It stays accurate even if you switch tabs.

Making 10 minutes count

Ten minutes sits in a sweet spot: long enough to finish something real, short enough that starting feels easy. It suits a power nap (sleep researchers put the groggy-free range at roughly 10–20 minutes), a tidy-one-room reset, a vocabulary or flash-card session, or clearing a small batch of email with the door mentally closed. Set the timer, do only that one thing, and stop when the alarm sounds.

For naps and quiet breaks

If you are using this as a nap timer, pick a gentler alarm sound from the sound menu before you start, and consider fullscreen so the screen stays dark and distraction-free. Because the countdown reads your device’s clock, the remaining time is always correct when you come back — though for the alarm to sound reliably, keep the tab open and the screen unlocked.

FAQ

Is a 10 minute power nap actually useful?

Yes. Research suggests that short naps in the 10–20 minute range can boost alertness and mood without leaving you groggy.

Can I change the duration?

On this page the timer starts at 10 minutes. You can change it with the presets or the custom input before you press start.

Does the timer make a sound when it ends?

Yes. An alarm plays when the countdown reaches zero, alongside a visual cue. You can choose between several alarm sounds, turn sound off entirely, or enable a soft ticking sound while the timer runs.
