1 Minute Timer

One minute barely feels worth setting a timer for, until you're staring down a soft-boiled egg or a face full of cleanser. It's short enough to run several times in a row without feeling like a chore.

It's also long enough to expose how slow one minute actually feels when you're just waiting for it, which is part of why cold-exposure routines use it as a standard unit.

It's already set to 1:00 below — press Space or Start to begin. Reloading mid-countdown resumes it rather than resetting, since it tracks a fixed end time stored on your device, not a server.

What fits in 1 minutes

A rough sense of scale for a 1 minutes block of time:

  • Boiling an egg to soft-boiled
  • A cold-water face rinse routine
  • Brushing your teeth (twice over)
  • A single set of a HIIT exercise
  • Letting a face mask sit before rinsing
