  • Repeat 3-4 times
  • Take a longer 15-30 minute break

Benefits: Improved focus, reduced burnout, better time awareness, increased productivity.

Countdown Timer FAQ

Frequently asked questions about countdown timers

How many timers can I run simultaneously?

You can run unlimited timers simultaneously. Each timer operates independently with its own countdown, controls, and notifications. This is perfect for managing multiple tasks or activities at once.

Do the timers work when the browser is closed?

Timers will pause when the browser tab is not active or when the browser is closed. However, desktop notifications will still work if you've granted permission, and timers will resume when you return to the tab.

Can I customize the sound alerts?

Yes! You can choose from different sound options (beep, chime, alarm) for each timer, or disable sounds entirely. The sound will play when the timer reaches zero, and you can also enable desktop notifications for visual alerts.

What is large-screen mode?

Large-screen mode displays a timer in fullscreen with large, easy-to-read numbers. This is perfect for presentations, cooking, or any situation where you need a prominent timer display. Press the expand button on any timer to enter large-screen mode.
