1 Minute Timer is a browser-based countdown tool for anyone who needs a quick 60-second block for workouts, focus sprints, micro-breaks, classroom drills or party games. The default screen is already set to one minute, so starting it takes a single click on START, with no app to install. Users can pick a theme color, a ticking sound and an alarm sound from Zen, Sport, Play and Classic options, including a ticking bomb effect for games. It uses Web Audio APIs so the alarm rings even when the tab is inactive, and it works in iOS and Android mobile browsers. The tool is free.
