What it's good for

What 15 minutes is good for.

  • Coffee breaks

    Fifteen minutes is the classic break in a half-day workshop: enough for coffee and a chat, short enough to restart on time.

  • Short presentations

    Ten minutes of talk and five of questions. Keep the timer where both you and the room can see it.

  • Power naps

    Many people find 10 to 20 minutes the sweet spot for a nap that refreshes without leaving them groggy.

Timing a meeting?

Split the 15 minutes across the agenda.

Agendiq's meeting timer gives every agenda item its own countdown, so the last item gets its minutes too. Everyone follows along on their phone.

  • A countdown for each agenda item, the next one a key away
  • A soft chime and a colour change in the last minute
  • A score at the end for how well you kept time

15 minute timer questions

How do I start a 15 minute timer?

Press Start, or the space bar. The 15 minutes count down in big digits and the time left shows in your browser tab, so you can switch to other work and still see it.

How long should a break be in a workshop?

Fifteen minutes is the usual length for a morning or afternoon break. Announce the time you restart, not only the length, and start again when the timer chimes.

Does the 15 minute timer make a sound?

Yes, a soft two-note chime at zero, made in your browser without any audio files. Turn it off with the bell button. It still chimes on time in a background tab, because the sound is scheduled when you press Start.

Can I show it full screen?

Yes. Press F or the full screen button and the digits fill the screen, big enough for a whole room. Escape takes you back.

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

No. The timer is free and runs in your browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. No account, no email, no download.
