FAQs
Can I run multiple cooking timers?
Open multiple browser tabs — each tab runs its own independent timer.
Does it work with the screen off?
Yes, the alarm will still sound if the browser tab is in the background. Keep the tab open.
What can you actually do in one minute?
More than you think: brush your teeth, do 15 pushups, take 6 deep breaths, or skim a page. A one-minute timer is about focus, not duration.
How accurate is a one-minute countdown?
The timer counts milliseconds. For a one-minute count, it’s within a fraction of a second — accurate enough for any micro-task.
