What a 1 minute 30 second timer is good for

A minute and a half is long enough to say something meaningful and short enough to keep people listening. It is a common limit for public comment in council meetings and a favourite rest interval in the gym.

A short speech

Many public meetings and award nights give speakers ninety seconds.

Rest intervals

Rest for a minute and a half between strength sets.

A soft egg

Ninety seconds in boiling water is the start of a very soft egg for dipping.

A quick review

Spend ninety seconds summarising what you learnt at the end of a lesson.

To pace yourself, glance at the disc rather than the numbers. With the 1 minute 30 second timer running, half the colour has gone after 45 seconds, and when only a quarter is left you have 22 seconds to wrap up. Open fullscreen if the timer needs to be read across a room, and add a label so everyone knows what the 1 minute 30 seconds are for.

Why use this timer

Why a visual timer helps

A shrinking disc turns time into something you can see. You read how much is left at a glance, without doing sums on a clock, and an invisible deadline feels less stressful when you can watch it approach. That is why visual timers are a staple in classrooms and are widely used by people with ADHD and autistic children and adults. Read our guide to using a visual timer, how it helps with ADHD time blindness, classroom transitions and autism.

Why this timer is accurate

The countdown is anchored to your device clock rather than counted in animation frames. It does not drift if you switch tabs or your screen sleeps: it keeps running in the background and still sounds the alarm on time. When you come back, the disc jumps straight to the correct position.
