About this 45-minute timer
A one-click 45-minute countdown, most often used for a full workout, an exam-style timed practice session, or a long meeting block. It runs in your browser and rings when it reaches zero.
The full-session length
Forty-five minutes is a school lesson, a standard gym session, and the length of most exam papers. It's about the upper limit of sustained concentration for most people before quality drops off noticeably, which is why so many institutions landed on roughly this number independently.

Tips for using a 45-minute timer
- A 45-minute workout is plenty for strength or conditioning; longer sessions usually mean longer rests, not more work.
- Practising under a 45-minute timer is the best exam preparation there is — pacing is a learned skill.
- If focus reliably fades before 45 minutes, work in 25-minute pomodoros instead rather than pushing through.
