2 minutes timer

2 minutes timer. 2 minutes ready.

Space starts or pauses. R resets. F is fullscreen.

Two minutes is the length dentists mean when they say brush, and it is enough to steep a green tea without wandering off. It is also a fair length for box breathing: four counts in, hold, out, and hold, repeated.

Use a sound you can hear from the bathroom. A silent two minute timer is easy to forget mid-brush. Press space to start or pause, R to reset, and F for fullscreen. The screen can stay awake after you start, using the wake lock your browser allows. Pick the alarm before you begin. A bell, a chime, a beep, or a short digital pulse all come from the Web Audio API, so there is no sound file to wait on.

This page is the 2 minutes countdown and nothing else is running underneath it. Related lengths are linked under the guide if you want a neighbor, and the timer itself stays above the fold.

No. The end is a timestamp. The display is the gap between that timestamp and now, so a background tab does not lose seconds the way a ticking counter would.
