Frequently Asked Questions

Will it play a sound?

Yes — a beep plays when the timer reaches zero (make sure your device isn't muted).

Can I pause the timer and resume later?

Yes — use the pause control to stop the countdown temporarily, then resume from exactly where you left off.

Does the timer keep running if I switch to another browser tab?

Yes — the countdown continues running in the background even if you switch tabs, and the alert will still play when time runs out.

Can I set a timer for longer than an hour?

Yes — enter the total duration in minutes and seconds, so a 90-minute timer, for example, can be entered as 90 minutes and 0 seconds.

Is this good for a Pomodoro-style work session?

Yes — set it for a focused work interval (commonly 25 minutes), and use the reset and start controls to quickly cycle into your next work block or break.

Can I run multiple timers at once in different tabs?

Yes — open the tool in separate browser tabs and each one will run its own independent countdown, which is useful for timing several things simultaneously.
