Timer that beeps every 5 minutes
Beep every 5 min for 1 hr.
What this one is for
Five-minute blocks can divide a meeting into equal speaking turns. Twelve rounds provide one hour; six provide half an hour. Agree what happens at the cue before the meeting begins.
You can also use a block to review one small item, such as a slide or paragraph. If the cue repeatedly interrupts useful work, choose a longer interval. Five minutes is a scheduling choice, not a rule about posture or attention.
Good for
- Equal meeting turns
- Reviewing slides one at a time
- Short rehearsal sections
How it runs
Beep every 5 min for 1 hr. Press Start, or hit Space. The phase word and icon above the progress bar tell you where you are.
Check the Sound chip and device volume before starting. Work and rest have different tones. The tab title shows the time left. Start begins the first phase immediately; prepare your space first.
Keep the page visible for cues. The timer requests an awake screen, but the browser can refuse it or delay background sound. For offline use, load this exact page online and test a reload without a connection before relying on it.
Change the settings before starting. Work and Rest use seconds on this page. This page opens with its preset each visit; the main timer page remembers your valid settings.
Common questions
Does this schedule a separate break?
No. Rest is zero, so consecutive work blocks follow each other. Add Rest if you want timed breaks, and check the larger total.
How do I get exactly one hour?
Set Rounds to 12. Each round is five minutes and there is no rest phase, so the last beep lands right at the hour.
Does it keep running in the background?
A hidden page or locked device may delay or suppress a cue. Keep the timer visible and test your setup. The countdown can recover elapsed time when the page resumes, but a missed cue cannot be delivered on time afterwards.
Do I need to leave it running to keep my settings?
No. This page always opens with these numbers. The main interval timer remembers your own settings in your browser. Settings are stored locally. Usage analytics are separate from those settings.
