Three quarters of an hour

Forty-five minutes is a common school period, a typical meeting slot and a good length for a single deep-work session before a 10 to 15 minute break.

For timed exam practice with reading time, the exam timer is built for it. Otherwise try the 40 minute, 50 minute or 1 hour timer.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep running in the background?

Yes, it keeps time from your device clock and shows the time left in the tab title.

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.
