Frequently asked questions

How do I start the 20 seconds timer?
It starts automatically when the page opens. Use Pause to stop it and Reset to return it to 20 seconds. You can also change the duration with the presets or the minute and second inputs.
Will it keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer tracks the real elapsed time rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even when the tab is in the background.
Does it make a sound when it finishes?
Yes, it plays an alarm at zero and the tab title changes to let you know. Make sure your device isn't muted.
