    Good uses for two minutes

    • Brushing teeth: thirty seconds for each part of the mouth.
    • A quick tidy of a desk or a table before the next activity.
    • Steeping green tea, which turns bitter if it sits too long.
    • Short speeches, elevator pitches and quick class reports.
    2 Minute Timer running, with the time left shown as a shape
    Press Start and watch the time run out. The line under the timer shows when it ends.
    2 Minute Timer in full screen
    Full screen hides everything except the timer, so it is easy to read on a projector or a TV.

    Pick one of 19 styles, then a color and a background of your own.

    See the time without reading it

    A shape that shrinks is quicker to read than numbers. Try the Hatch style for brushing teeth: the egg hatches when the two minutes are done.

    Questions and answers

    How do I start the 2 minute timer?

    The timer is already set to 2 minutes. Press Start, or press the Space bar on a keyboard. Press it again to pause, and press Reset to bring back the full 2 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 2 minutes?

    2 minutes is 120 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.
