20 Minute Timer
Twenty minutes gives you room to settle into a task without committing to a full hour. This timer is set to 20 minutes and alerts you on screen, and with an optional chime, when time is up.
20:00
When a 20 minute timer helps
- A focused study or writing session with one clear goal.
- A walk, an easy run, or a yoga session.
- A screen-break reminder. The commonly recommended 20-20-20 rule suggests looking at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
- Timed classroom or team activities where each stage needs a clear limit.
Tips
Repeat for regular reminders
When the chime sounds, take your break, then press Start again for the next 20 minutes.
