Time flies when you are busy, and a 737 minute timer makes it visible. This free online countdown measures 12 hours and 17 minutes precisely and lets you add your own text, an alarm and a final message.
Why Use a 737 Minute Timer?
Here are some popular ways to use a 737-minute countdown:
- Long-Haul Flight: Count down a long-haul flight or a night train and see how much travel time is left.
- Brining & Curing: Brining a turkey or curing salmon takes many hours. The 737 minute timer makes sure you do not overdo it.
- Overnight Marinade: Meat and tofu absorb more flavour when they marinate for 8 to 24 hours. Set the countdown and plan the next meal.

Fun Fact: What Happens in 737 Minutes?
High tides follow each other about every 12 hours and 25 minutes, because the Moon rises about 50 minutes later each day. The 737 minute timer is just 8 minutes shorter than that.
