6 Minute Timer
This timer draws 6 minutes as 20 concentric rings; one empties every 18 seconds, so a glance shows how far along you are without reading a digit. It chimes at zero, keeps counting in a background tab, runs fullscreen, and exports as a video with a free account. Handy for a jammy soft-boiled egg, a six-minute walk test, or a neck and shoulder stretch routine.
How long is each ring?
18 seconds. The dial always has 20 rings, and this timer runs 6 minutes.
Does it chime at the end?
Yes. A clear double chime marks zero, even from a background tab, and the rings themselves stay silent so the countdown never interrupts you. Exported videos add a soft tick as each ring finishes.
