Frequently asked questions

How do I set up work and rest intervals?

Set work and rest in seconds, choose the number of rounds and add an optional prep countdown. Prep allows 0 to 300 seconds, work 1 to 3600 seconds, rest 0 to 3600 seconds and rounds 1 to 99. The final work round ends the workout, with no rest afterward.

What do the HIIT and Tabata presets include?

Tabata starts with 10 seconds of prep, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest and eight rounds. HIIT uses 45 second work and 15 second rest rounds. EMOM, Stretching and Boxing are also available. Adjust any preset to build your own repeated pattern.

Will it cue me at each transition?

Enable Sound for work and rest transition cues and a short warning near the end of a phase. Vibration depends on device support. With browser permission, notifications mark each phase change and the end of the workout. Hidden tabs and sleeping devices can delay cues.

Can I set rounds without a rest phase?

Yes. Set Rest to 0 to move straight from one work round to the next, as in the EMOM preset. Prep can also be 0. The display and workout plan show your round count and current phase.

Can I use it on my phone?

Use it in a browser on your phone or computer, with no installation required. Keep the page open and the device awake if you need timely sound cues. A browser timer cannot guarantee alerts when the device sleeps.

Where are my interval settings saved?

The timer saves the selected pattern and recoverable session state in this browser, with no account required. Clearing site data or using temporary browser storage can remove them.

Technical details

Timestamp calculations

Elapsed and remaining time are calculated from saved timestamps and the device clock, rather than counting display updates. Changing the system clock can affect the result. Hidden tabs and suspended devices can delay phase changes and alerts.

Local session storage

Mode settings and recoverable session state are saved in IndexedDB in this browser. Clearing site data or using temporary browser storage can remove them. Countdown links also contain the event details needed to reopen the shared card.

Browser cues

Sound uses the browser’s audio API. Notifications require permission, and vibration depends on device support. There is no screen wake lock, so keep the device awake and the page open when you need timely cues.

Shared timing modes

Timer, Stopwatch, Countdown, Pomodoro, Interval and Meeting cost each have a dedicated page. They share a timer engine and local session storage, so switching between these pages can restore the saved state for each mode.
