Six minutes is a long song, a hallway walk to the printer and back, or a calm reading of one dense page. Cooks use it for a simmer they still need to watch, not a dish they can leave.
If you are practicing an instrument, play the passage twice and stop. Six minutes of looping beats a vague half hour. 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 6 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.

Will the countdown drift if I switch tabs?
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.
