Five minutes is the workhorse of short-interval timing. It is long enough to write a focused paragraph, brew tea, hold a plank progression, finish a stretching set, or run a stand-up before the team scatters. Most kitchen tasks — soft-boiled eggs, blanching greens, resting steak — sit in the same window. So do quick study sprints between Pomodoro blocks and short breathing exercises that calm a racing mind. This page gives you a 5 minute timer that does not require a download, an account, or even a tab to stay open. Press start and a reminder is scheduled on the channel you pick. Choose Telegram and a chat message arrives the moment the timer ends. Choose browser push and your operating system notifies you even after you close the page. Add an optional message — "steak rest", "interview prep", "call back" — and the notification arrives with that label so you instantly remember why you set it. If five minutes is too short, neighbouring durations are one click away. If it is too long, the same widget accepts any whole number of minutes. The timer is part of RemindMeNow, a multi-channel reminder hub: every timer you start here can become a recurring reminder, escalate to a teammate, or land in a private inbox. The five-minute case is just the front door.

FAQ

How does the 5 minute timer work?
Press Start. The timer counts down from 5:00, and a notification is delivered through the channel you selected — Telegram, browser push, or email. You can close the tab; the reminder still fires.
Do I need an account?
No. Telegram and browser-push channels work for guests once you link them. Email delivery requires a free account so we can address the message to you.
Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The reminder is scheduled server-side, so the notification arrives whether or not the timer page is open.
Can I customise the notification message?
Yes — type a short label like "meeting break" or "steak rest" in the message field. The notification you receive will include that label.
