Frequently Asked Questions

Will the timer still run if I switch tabs?
Yes. The countdown continues in the background and the browser tab title updates with the remaining time, so you can monitor progress without switching back to this tab.
Will I hear an alarm when it finishes?
Yes. Three short beeps play when the countdown reaches zero. Make sure your device volume is not muted. Some browsers require a user interaction on the page before audio can play.
What are the quick presets?
One-click buttons for 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes, plus 1 hour. Tap any preset to instantly set that duration, then click Start.
Can I pause and resume?
Yes. Click Pause to freeze the countdown, then Resume to continue from exactly where it stopped. The progress ring and tab title remain accurate throughout.
