A simple, beautiful 5-minute countdown.
Use a 5 minute timer for quick tasks like steeping tea, a short meditation, an exercise interval, or a focused study sprint. Press start to begin the countdown. The timer keeps running even if you switch tabs, so your remaining time stays accurate when you return.
More than you might think: black and green tea steep in three to five minutes, a plank-and-stretch circuit fits comfortably, and five minutes of box breathing (four counts in, hold, out, hold) is a legitimate reset between meetings. Five minutes is also the classic "just start" trick for procrastination — commit to a task for only five minutes, and momentum usually carries you past the alarm.
Keep the tab visible on a second monitor or your phone so the shrinking ring stays in view — a countdown you can see applies gentler pressure than one you have to remember. If five minutes turns out to be the wrong size for the task, the presets and custom input let you adjust in one tap before restarting.
Short tasks: a quick stretch, a meditation, a Tabata-style workout interval, steeping tea, or a focused mini-sprint of work.
