Quick timer
2 Minute Timer
Set to 2 minutes. Press start when you're ready.
Sound settings
Two minutes, timed properly
Two minutes sounds short until you try to guess it. This page opens with the timer set to 2:00, so one tap gets you an accurate countdown with a gentle alarm at the end.
It's the length dentists recommend for brushing teeth, which makes it handy for kids who rush. It also suits a speaking turn in a meeting or debate, a quick plank, a short breathing exercise, a pack-up warning in class, steeping green tea, or the opening round of a board game.
Handy extras
Tick Repeat to run back-to-back two minute rounds, for example rotating stations or taking turns. Copy link gives you an address with the time built in that you can drop into a lesson plan or group chat. If you need a little longer, the 5 minute timer is one tap away, and the 1 minute timer covers even quicker jobs.
Frequently asked questions
Is 2 minutes the right time for brushing teeth?
Two minutes, twice a day, is the common dental advice. Start the timer when the brush goes in and stop when you hear the alarm.
Can I make it loop for rounds?
Yes. Tick Repeat and it starts a fresh two minutes each time it reaches zero, with a short sound at every change.
Will it keep running if I switch tabs or lock my screen?
Yes. The timer works from your device clock, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and the tab title shows the time left. If your phone locks, the countdown carries on, but some phones delay sound until you unlock, so keep the screen on for anything important.
