Questions

Where does the music come from?

Your browser makes it as the timer runs, from a few notes and chords, so there are no song files to download and nothing to license. That's also why it starts at once, with no advert before it like a timer video.

Which track should I pick?

Calm is slow, soft chords for tidying up or winding down. Focus is a gentle repeating pattern for reading or writing. Upbeat has a light beat for clean-up races and warm-ups. Rain is soft noise with a quiet chord, for silent work or a rest.

What happens when I pause?

The music stops with the timer and starts again when you resume. Adding or taking off a minute moves the end of the music too, so it always fades out at zero.

Does it work in a background tab?

The timer keeps exact time in a background tab, and the alarm is scheduled ahead. The music keeps playing too in most browsers. On iPhone and iPad, keep this tab open, because Safari pauses hidden tabs.

What keyboard shortcuts are there?

Space starts and pauses, R resets, F goes full screen, N turns the music on or off, M turns the alarm sound on or off, and + and − add or take off a minute.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The timer and the music run in your browser. Your track, volume, and sound settings are remembered on this device only.
