Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. It counts against the system clock, so it finishes on time even if the tab is in the background. Keep the tab open and the sound on so you hear the alarm.
Why don't I hear the alarm on my iPhone?
iPhones mute web audio when the silent switch is on. Turn silent mode off and raise the volume, then press Test on any alarm to check.
How long can I set the timer for?
Anything from 1 second to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Space starts and pauses, R resets, F toggles full screen and M mutes the sound.
