1 Minute Timer — Fullscreen Flip Clock
Preset and ready — press start, no signup needed.
One minute is the classroom and kitchen workhorse — quick enough for a spelling round, a plank hold, or timing a short speech, but long enough to feel like a real countdown.
This timer preloads to exactly 60 seconds and starts on a single click. The oversized flip clock stays readable across a room, so it doubles as a group timer on a projector or shared screen.
Tip: Teaching or presenting? Hit fullscreen and place the tab on a second monitor so everyone can watch the seconds flip down together.
How to run a one-minute round
- Go fullscreen before you announce the round, not after. Sixty seconds is short enough that fumbling with the browser eats a tenth of it.
- Say the task out loud, then start. At this length people spend the first ten seconds working out what they are meant to be doing unless you front-load it.
- Press Reset rather than reloading between rounds. The page reload costs a couple of seconds and breaks the rhythm of back-to-back drills.
One minute is short enough that the countdown itself does the motivating — nobody paces themselves over sixty seconds, they just go. That makes it excellent for drills and terrible for anything requiring a decision first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start the 1 minute timer?
Just press Start (or the spacebar). The clock is already set to 60 seconds — no configuration or signup needed.
Does it make a sound when it finishes?
Yes, a soft chime plays at 0:00 and the clock flips to zero so you get both an audio and visual cue.
Can I use it fullscreen?
Yes — the fullscreen button expands the flip clock to fill the screen, ideal for classrooms or a second monitor.
