A free 55 minute timer with big digits, a progress ring and an alarm you can choose. Pick Silent and tick Notify, and it taps you on the shoulder with a notification instead of beeping in a quiet room. Also searched as 55 min timer, timer 55 minutes.
Why 55 minutes
Fifty-five minutes is an hour with a five-minute buffer. Think of a lecture that ends with time to pack up, a roast that needs to rest, or a wash that finishes before the dryer is free.
What fits in 55 minutes

Frequently asked questions
Why 55 minutes instead of an hour?
Meetings and classes booked for an hour rarely need all of it. A 55-minute timer leaves five minutes to wrap up and move.
Do notifications work on a phone?
Some mobile browsers support them; many do not. On a desktop browser they are reliable once you grant permission.
Can I change the length midway?
Pause with Space, click the digits, enter a new time and press Enter. The timer restarts from the new length.
