Questions
How do I set a 2 minutes timer?
Press Start on this page. The 2 minutes countdown begins at once and rings when it reaches zero. You can also press the space bar to start and pause.
How many seconds are in 2 minutes?
2 minutes is 120 seconds.
Will it still ring if I switch to another tab?
Yes, while the tab stays open. The alarm is scheduled for an exact end time when you press Start, so a background tab does not delay it. Turn on notifications to get a system alert too.
Can I run this alongside other timers?
This page runs one big timer. For several at once, open the main countdown timer board, which runs any number of labelled timers side by side.
