Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep accurate time?
Yes. It tracks a target end time rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even if the tab is briefly busy.
Will it notify me when time runs out?
The display turns green and shows a 'Time's up!' message when the countdown reaches zero. Keep the tab visible so you don't miss it.
