15 Minute Timer
Fifteen minutes is the sweet spot for a single, contained task. Answer the emails, draft the outline, clear the one thing on your mind. This timer keeps it simple: a quiet full-screen countdown and nothing else.

15 Minute Timer, free, online, no signup
A fifteen-minute window is short enough to protect from interruption and long enough to make real progress. It's a unit of focus you can repeat without burning out.
Choosing what fits in fifteen minutes
Fifteen minutes suits one contained job with an obvious end, such as clearing a small inbox, drafting a first outline, preparing tomorrow's list, or a round of stretching and slow breathing. Pick the job before the countdown begins, so none of the time goes on deciding. Put your phone out of reach and close tabs you do not need. When the chime sounds, write one line about where you stopped, so it is easy to pick the work up again later.
How to use this timer
Tap the circle to start. Tap again to pause or resume. When the countdown reaches zero you'll hear a gentle chime. There's nothing to set up and nothing to sign into, just a quiet space to focus.
