60 Minute Timer
This is a free online 60 minute timer built for focus. Press start and it counts down a full 60 minutes, then rings and rolls you into a 12-minute break. You can also press “Float” to pop the countdown into a small always-on-top window that stays visible while you work in another app.
A 60-minute block is good for an hour of concentrated work before stepping away to recharge. Because the timer runs on a real wall-clock deadline, it keeps perfect time even if you switch tabs, lock your screen, or reload the page — so you can trust the count and forget about it. It works well with the Pomodoro Technique: focused sprints separated by short breaks.
A 60-minute block is long enough to get past the initial ramp-up into real deep work, without running so long that focus quality drops off. Pair it with a proportionally longer break — the default below scales with the session — and the local session history tracks how much focused time you actually put in.

Frequently asked questions
How do I start a 60 minute timer?
Just press the Start button — the timer is already set to 60 minutes on this page. You can pause, reset, or skip at any time.
Can the 60 minute timer run in the background?
Yes. Press “Float” to open a small always-on-top Picture-in-Picture window, or simply leave the tab open — the countdown stays accurate either way because it is based on a real clock deadline.
Will it make a sound when the 60 minutes are up?
If you allow notifications, you’ll get a desktop notification when the session ends. The on-screen timer also clearly shows when a session is complete.
Should I take a longer break after a 60-minute session?
Yes — a longer focus block earns a longer recovery. This page's default break scales with the session length; feel free to stretch it further before your next round.
Will it remember my completed sessions?
Yes. Your finished focus sessions are saved locally in your browser so you can see how many you have completed today and in total.
