Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 9-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 9 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.
