5 Minute Timer
Take a five minute break between tasks with this free online timer. Leave the countdown open, pause if needed and return when your break ends.
Ready for 5 minutes.
Give a short break a clear ending
Choose how you want to spend the break before pressing Start, so the whole five minutes does not disappear into browsing.
Step away from the screen
Leave your work where it is and spend the break away from your usual screen activity. Keep the timer page open.
Prepare to return
Use the last part of the break to get your materials ready. Note the first action you will take when you return.
A simple plan for this session
- Finish or mark your current stopping point.
- Press Start and take your chosen break.
- When the timer ends, return to your next task; use Pomodoro if you want alternating work and break sessions.
Keep this page open while the timer runs. Check your device volume if you want to hear the end alert.
