Frequently asked questions

Does the timer keep running in another tab?

Yes. It's based on the real clock, so switching tabs doesn't make it drift.

Why didn't the alarm make a sound?

Some browsers block sound until you interact with the page — pressing Start counts.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type or open is sent to our servers.
