Questions and answers
Can I change the time from 2 minutes?
Yes. Tap another chip or type a new time in Settings. Your change is remembered on this device.
Will the alarm ring if I switch tabs?
Yes. The alarm is scheduled on your device’s audio clock and plays on time in a background tab. Most phones pause sound when the screen locks, so the timer keeps the screen awake.
Is there a timer for other lengths?
Yes: 1 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, plus a countdown for any time you like.
