Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a countdown timer?
Enter your hours, minutes, and seconds in the three fields, then click Start. The circular progress ring counts down and an audio alert sounds when it reaches zero.

What happens when the timer reaches zero?
An ascending four-note tone plays through your browser speakers and the progress ring completes. Click Reset to set a new time.
Does the timer work in a background tab?
