Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 15-minute timer work if I switch tabs?

Yes. oTimers calculates elapsed time using high-resolution hardware timestamps (performance.now()). Even if your browser throttles background tabs, the countdown remains 100% accurate down to the millisecond.

Can I adjust the time while it's running?

Yes. Press ↑ or ↓ on your keyboard (or scroll your mouse wheel over the watch face) to add or subtract minutes on the fly without stopping the clock.

What sound will play when 15 minutes are up?

Instead of abrasive digital buzzer sounds, oTimers synthesizes an acoustic Tibetan singing bowl / Zen gong using the browser's native Web Audio API.
