How to use the timer
Tap a preset (1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes) or type your own minutes and seconds and press Set. Press Start. You can pause, resume, or add and remove a minute while it runs. When time is up, the ring glows and an alarm plays three times.
Good for
Timeboxing meetings and stand-ups, classroom activities and exams, presentations, workouts and rest periods, the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes of focus, 5 of rest), board game turns and cooking.
Keeps time even in the background
The timer counts from the clock, not from the screen, so it stays exact if you switch tabs. The remaining time also shows in the browser tab title. Keep the tab open and your volume on to hear the alarm.
