Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. Our time-tracking tool utilizes your device's internal system clock (timestamping) rather than just browser intervals. This means if you switch tabs or minimize the browser, the timer will remain perfectly accurate when you return.

What is the maximum time I can set?

The stopwatch can technically run infinitely, displaying up to 99 hours before rolling over. The countdown timer allows you to set a maximum duration of 99 Hours, 59 Minutes, and 59 Seconds.

Does the countdown timer have an alarm?

Yes! When the countdown reaches zero, an audio chime will play. Please ensure your device's volume is turned up and your browser allows audio playback for this site.
