    Break a big job into tens

    Ten minutes is a friendly size for jobs you don’t want to start. Commit to one round, then decide whether to do another.

    Add each part as a task with its own length, and turn on Auto-start next to move through the list without touching the screen.

    Questions and answers

    How do I start the 10 minute timer?

    The timer is already set to 10 minutes. Press Start, or press the Space bar on a keyboard. Press it again to pause, and press Reset to bring back the full 10 minutes.

    Will it make a sound when time is up?

    Yes. A soft chime plays when the time is up, and phones that support it also vibrate. Use the Sound button to turn the chime off for quiet rooms.

    Does it keep time if I switch tabs or lock my screen?

    The timer counts from the clock, so it stays accurate in a background tab. While it runs, urTimer asks the screen to stay awake so you can keep watching it.

    How many seconds are in 10 minutes?

    10 minutes is 600 seconds.

    Can I change the length or the look?

    Pick another preset, drag the Classic dial, or choose Custom for any time up to 12 hours. Under Style you can switch to an hourglass, a candle, a progress bar and more, and pick your own colors.
