Frequently asked questions
Does the timer keep running in another tab?
Yes. It's based on the clock, so it stays accurate when you switch tabs. The time also shows in the browser tab.
Why didn't I hear the alarm?
Check that your device isn't muted and that "Play a sound" is ticked. Some phones block sound until you tap the page once.
Is there a keyboard shortcut?
