Countdowns

Choose a duration and start the timer. Countdown timers are useful for cooking, breaks and practice intervals.

Browser behavior

Background tabs and device sleep can delay timer callbacks. The displayed countdown recalculates against wall-clock time when the page runs again.

For medication or safety-critical alarms, use a dedicated device notification instead of relying on an open browser tab.
