What a 5 minute timer is good for

Five minutes is the most-reached-for timer there is. It is the standard Pomodoro break, the length of a short guided meditation, and the honest answer to "just five more minutes" — which is precisely why running it on a clock rather than by feel makes a difference.

  • A Pomodoro break
  • Short meditation
  • A quick tidy-up
  • Resting between exercise sets

The alarm is a gong generated in your browser, so it works with the sound on and no connection. For work/break cycles with ambient sound, use the Focus timer; to count down to a date instead of a duration, use Countdowns.
