Choose the 25-minute preset for a focused study session. At zero, a loud alarm repeats until you press Stop sound, reset or restart the timer, or turn off Alarm sound. The volume also depends on your device settings.
A timer you can stop when time is up
For a study block, select 25 minutes and press Start. At zero the alarm repeats until you press Stop sound, reset or restart, or disable Alarm sound. Check your device volume before relying on the alert. The focus view enlarges the timer without creating another page.
Frequently asked questions
Will it ring if my device sleeps or I close the tab?
Do not rely on it in those situations. Device sleep and browser suspension may delay or prevent the alert, and closing the tab stops it. Keep the page open and the device awake.
How do I stop the repeating sound?
Press Stop sound when it appears. Reset, starting another countdown or unchecking Alarm sound also silences it.
Does Pause change the duration I entered?
Pause preserves the time remaining. Start resumes that remainder; Reset returns to the configured duration.
