About this 2-hour timer
A one-click 2-hour countdown, most often used for a movie-length focus block, slow-cooking check-ins, or a long exam or test simulation. It runs in your browser and rings when it reaches zero.
Two hours
Two hours is a feature film, a long exam, and about the longest single block most people can work productively before needing a genuine break. It's a common slow-cooking window and the standard length of a written exam paper, which makes it useful for timed practice under realistic conditions.

Tips for using a 2-hour timer
- For a two-hour work block, plan a short break at the midpoint — sustained focus past about 90 minutes gets expensive.
- Timed practice at full exam length trains stamina as much as knowledge.
- For slow cooking, use it as a check-in point rather than a walk-away time.

Will it keep time if I switch tabs?
Yes. The countdown is measured against your device clock rather than counting screen refreshes, so it stays accurate in a background tab and the alarm fires on time. For a timer this long, keep the device awake — some phones pause browser audio when locked.
