Frequently asked questions
How do I set a 4 minute timer?
This page is already set to 4 minutes. Just press Start (or the space bar). To change the time, tap another length or type your own.
Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer counts down from a fixed end time, so it stays accurate in a background tab, and the sound still plays when time is up. The remaining time is also shown in the browser tab title.
