About this 1 hour timer

This 1 hour timer counts down a full sixty minutes and shows hours, minutes and seconds in large, clear digits. Use it for exams, extended project time, school events or any long session that needs a visible end.

The timer keeps exact time from the clock, so it's reliable for the whole hour even if your computer is busy with other windows. A sound marks the end, and the ring turns red in the final minutes.

Need something different? The full tool lets you set anything you like: classroom timer.
