Good uses for two minutes

Two minutes is the sweet spot for micro-tasks: long enough to do them properly, short enough that you will not put them off.

A two-minute breathing or grounding exercise
Holding a plank or a stretch
Brushing teeth for the recommended time
A quick tidy-up sprint or inbox skim

Frequently asked questions

Why use a 2 minute timer instead of counting in my head?

A visible countdown removes the guesswork so you commit to the full two minutes instead of cutting a task short, which is common with breathing, planks, and brushing.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown is based on a fixed end time, so it stays accurate in the background and completes even if the tab was inactive.

Can I get a sound or notification at the end?

Yes, once you have interacted with the page. You can also enable optional completion notifications in settings for a background alert.

Is it free and account-free?

Yes. The 2 minute timer runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up.
