1-hour timer
Sixty minutes, set and ready. Press start.
One hour is the block people reach for when the work needs a real run at it — a full session with a 10-minute break behind it, and no arithmetic to do.
The timer above is already set to 60 minutes. Press start; it keeps counting accurately in the background.
What it is for
When a 1-hour timer helps.
One hour, properly defended
A booked hour of work, protected like a meeting. The timer is the thing that makes it real rather than aspirational.
Studying and practice
Study sessions, practice, and revision tend to be planned in hours already, so the timer matches the plan instead of fighting it.
Finishing a whole piece
A full hour is long enough to finish something whole — a section, a feature, a chapter — instead of stopping mid-thought.
An hour you can point at
Each completed hour grows a plant, so a long day of focus leaves a field behind rather than a blur.
Questions
1-hour timer, answered.
- How do I start a 1-hour timer?
- Press start — the timer above is set to 60 minutes. It runs in your browser and stays accurate if you switch tabs or lock the screen.
- Is this 1-hour timer free?
- Yes. It is free and needs no account. Signing in only keeps your garden and focus history across devices.
- Will it notify me after an hour?
- It will chime at the end, and it can send a browser notification if you allow one. Both settings live on this device.
- Is an hour too long to focus?
- An hour is close to the natural ceiling for sustained concentration. Past roughly 90 minutes, most people are pushing through fatigue rather than working well.
