About This Tool
This tool utilizes your browser's precise built-in clock to track elapsed time without drifting. It also uses the native Web Audio API to play a clean beep sound when the timer reaches zero, without needing external audio files.
FAQs
1. What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique is a time management method where you work in focused 25-minute intervals (Pomodoros), separated by short 5-minute breaks.
2. Will the timer ring if my browser is minimized?
Yes. The timer calculates time based on absolute timestamps, meaning it will perfectly keep track of time even if your browser puts the background tab to sleep. However, modern browsers may delay the audio chime until you switch back to the tab.
3. Can I run multiple timers at once?
This tool currently runs one timer mode at a time. If you switch tabs, the active timer will be paused and reset.
