Custom duration
This 10 minute timer counts down from timestamps on your device clock, so it stays exact while you switch tabs, lock your phone or keep working elsewhere. Press Start and the large display counts down to zero with a progress bar showing how much is left.
Useful for studying, focused work, cooking, exercise, meditation and short breaks. Pause freezes the remaining time, Reset returns to the full 10 minute, and the +1 minute button extends a running countdown without starting over.
