2 hour timer
Focus
25:00Two hours is long enough for a full exam, a serious study marathon or a slow bake in the oven. The countdown on this page is already set to 120 minutes and starts with one click or the Space bar. It stays accurate even if you switch tabs or your computer sleeps, and rings when the two hours are up.
Mock tests and long exams
Many final exams, standardized tests and certification papers last around two hours. Practicing with a real 2-hour countdown shows you how your energy and pace change over that time: where you speed up, where you get stuck, and how much time you really need to review your answers at the end.
Set up the room as close to test conditions as you can: desk cleared, phone away, timer in fullscreen and no extra minutes. Afterward, note where you ran short on time and adjust your strategy for the next attempt.
A two-hour study marathon without burning out
Two hours of nonstop work is a lot for most people. For a long study session, it usually helps to build in short breaks, for example standing up, drinking water and resting your eyes for a few minutes every 25 to 50 minutes, while the 2-hour countdown tracks the whole session. That way you always know how much of the marathon is left.
If you prefer your breaks to be scheduled for you, use the Pomodoro timer on the home page instead. Presets such as 50/10 or 90/20 alternate focus and rest automatically.
- Split the two hours into chunks, each with its own clear goal.
- Keep water and a snack nearby so a break never turns into a long detour.
- Save the easiest tasks for the last half hour, when attention usually runs lower.
Beyond studying: baking, gaming and screen time
- Baking and cooking: bread, slow roasts, braises and stocks often need around two hours in the oven or on the stove.
- Gaming and screen time limits: agree on two hours, put the countdown in fullscreen, and let the alarm end the session instead of an argument.
- A long creative session: painting, a band rehearsal or a writing sprint on a novel.
- A big decluttering project or a deep clean of the house.
How the Pomodoro timer works
Four simple steps. No account, nothing to install: it runs right here in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set a 2 hour timer?
The countdown on this page is already set to 2 hours: press Start or the Space bar. On any countdown you can also type 120 in the minutes field.
Will a 2 hour timer keep time if my computer goes to sleep?
Yes. The countdown stays accurate through sleep, background tabs and page reloads, so the remaining time is correct when you come back. You can also turn on a desktop notification for the end.
Should I take breaks during a 2-hour study session?
Most people focus better with short breaks, for example a few minutes every 25 to 50 minutes. You can keep this countdown running for the whole session, or use the Pomodoro timer on the home page to alternate focus and breaks automatically.
Does a completed 2-hour countdown count in my stats?
Yes. Completed countdowns are recorded as focus sessions, so a long session moves you toward your daily goal and keeps your streak going.
