How to use

  1. Type hours, minutes and seconds, or press one of the preset buttons.
  2. Space starts and stops it. The tab title carries the countdown while you work elsewhere.
  3. At zero it beeps once and says so on screen. The stopwatch tab keeps laps instead.

Examples

Five minutes, now

The preset buttons start immediately — 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, no typing.

While you are on another tab

The time left is the end time minus the clock, so a throttled tab cannot make it drift. Come back and the number is already right.

Laps on the stopwatch

Each lap shows the stretch since the last one and the clock at that point, up to 99 of them. The splits add up to the total.

Focus and breaks, over and over

This times one run. For 25 minutes of work and 5 off, repeating, the other tool is the one. Pomodoro Timer

FAQ

How is this different from the Pomodoro timer?

This times a single run; the Pomodoro timer cycles focus and breaks. Pomodoro Timer

Does it drift in a background tab?

No, it reads the clock; hidden tabs may delay the beep, so enable notifications.
