Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Will the timer work if I switch to another browser tab?
Yes. The timer's logic is designed to keep running accurately in the background. However, for the sound alert to play reliably, it's best to keep the timer's tab open, even if it's not the active one. Some browsers may restrict sound from background tabs.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Currently, the timer uses a standard, effective alarm sound. We are considering adding options for different alert sounds in a future update to allow for more personalization. Let us know if this is a feature you'd like to see!
Is there a limit to the time I can set?
You can set the timer for up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, which is more than sufficient for almost any task, from short sprints of work to long-term monitoring of experiments or events.
