How to set a 5 hour timer
This 5 hour timer counts down from 5:00:00 (300 minutes) and plays an alarm when time runs out. It shows the time it will end, so a glance tells you if you're on track.
Setting it up
- Press Start.
- Read the end time on screen and keep it in mind for planning.
- Leave the page open in a tab. You can work in other tabs and still see the time left in the tab title.
When people need five hours
A long study or work block. Five rounds of the 50/10 timer fill exactly five hours, giving you a short break every hour.
A volunteer or event shift. Know when your shift ends without checking your phone constantly.
Screen-time or charging limits, rest periods, and reminders to check on something later in the day.
Need 1.5 or 2.5 hours instead?
Many people searching for long timers actually want a different length. Use the 1 hour 30 minute timer for 1.5 hours, or press Set Time and enter 2 hours 30 minutes for a 2.5 hour timer.
Honest limits
The alarm only plays while the page is open. On a phone, the screen-awake feature depends on your browser, so keep the phone plugged in and check that it won't lock and close the tab over five hours.
