One hour on the clock
An hour is the length of many exams, music lessons and gym classes, and the classic unit for a block of deep work. If you plan your day in hours, a one-hour timer keeps a meeting or a task from quietly spilling into the next slot. For cooking, it covers slow jobs like a roast chicken or a stew. When you study for an hour, a short stretch at the 30-minute mark helps; you can pause the timer and resume it without losing time.
What a 1 hour timer is good for
- an exam paper
- a deep work hour
- slow-cooking
60 minutes is 3,600 seconds, about 2.4 Pomodoro sessions. If you start now, it ends at the time shown in the tab title.
How to use it
Press Start or the space bar. The bar fills as time passes and a soft chime plays at zero. Keep the tab open; the timer keeps time even if your screen dims.
