Twenty focused minutes

Twenty minutes is long enough to get properly into a task and short enough to start without dread. It is a common length for a power nap, a reading session, a brisk walk or a block of homework.

Prefer a slightly different length? Try the 15 minute timer, the 25 minute Pomodoro length or the 30 minute timer. For a nap with a wake-up buffer, the nap timer has presets built for it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I repeat it?

Yes. Tick Repeat and it starts another 20 minutes as soon as one finishes.

Will it work if my screen locks or I close the tab?

Only while the page is open. The countdown keeps time from your device clock in a background tab, but phones and laptops can pause or silence web pages when they sleep, lock or close the tab. For anything that really matters, also set your device's own alarm.
