Frequently asked questions
How do I start the 20 minute timer?
It's preset to 20:00 — press Start. Pause, resume, reset, or change the length anytime.
Will it wake me from a power nap?
Yes — an alarm plays at zero and the tab title reads 'Time's up!'. Twenty minutes is the recommended power-nap length to avoid grogginess. Keep the volume up and the tab open.
Can I keep it in the background?
Yes. It counts in the background and shows the time in the tab title. Closing the tab stops the timer, so leave it open.
