Great for focused work and study
Half an hour is the length of a sitcom episode, a solid study block, a full workout session, or the time it takes to prep and cook a simple weeknight meal. This 30 minute timer gives you a firm, visible deadline for tasks that need more than a quick sprint but shouldn't stretch on indefinitely — start it, get to work, and let the chime mark the finish. This is a study-length countdown — long enough to get into flow, short enough to stay sharp. Use it for a reading or revision sprint, a writing session, a coding task, a meditation sit, or a timed practice test. Because it runs full-screen with a calm scene and a quiet end chime, it keeps you honest about when the block ends without nagging you while it runs.
How to use it
Press Start (or the space bar) and the clock counts down to zero. Scroll or type on the clock while idle to adjust the length; press R to reset. Go full screen for a projector or second monitor, or pop out the floating mini-window to keep the countdown visible over your other apps. Mute the chime with the speaker button if you want a silent finish.
Frequently asked questions
Does it ring when the time is up?
Yes — a soft chime plays and the tab title shows "Time's up!". You can mute it with the speaker button.
Can I pause and resume?
Yes. Press Start/Pause (or the space bar) any time; the countdown resumes from where it left off.
Will it keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The countdown is based on a target end-time, so it stays accurate in a background tab.
