The report that gets fixed fastest

A timer that ended at the wrong moment is the most useful thing you can send, and it is also the hardest to act on without detail. What makes it reproducible:

• Which page you were on and what duration you set.
• What the countdown showed when it finished, and what the actual elapsed time was.
• Whether the tab was in the foreground, in the background, or the window was minimised.
• Your browser and operating system, with versions if you have them.
• Whether the machine slept, the laptop lid closed, or the tab was muted at any point.

That last line resolves a good share of reports on its own. A sleeping computer stops the page entirely and a muted tab produces no alarm, and neither is something the page can detect or work around — the about page sets out those limits in full.

Reporting an alarm that did not sound

Silent alarms are the second most common report, and they split into three causes that look identical from the outside. The first is that sound was never unlocked: browsers refuse to let a page make noise until you have interacted with it, so a timer started with the keyboard shortcut on a page you have not yet clicked can run to zero without a sound. The tool says on screen whether sound is armed, and pressing Start arms it. The second is a muted tab — browsers let you mute a tab independently of the system volume, and a muted tab stays silent no matter what the page schedules. The third is that the page stopped running altogether, which is what happens when a laptop sleeps or a mobile browser suspends a background page.

If none of those explain it, that is genuinely worth an email. Include the browser, the operating system, the duration, and whether the tab was in the foreground when the countdown reached zero. Those four lines are usually enough to reproduce it.

Using this timer somewhere else

You do not need permission to embed the timer or link to it — the embed snippet on the home page is there to be copied, and it is a plain iframe with no script and no tracking. Teachers, gyms and internal wikis are welcome to use it as-is. If the iframe misbehaves inside a particular content management system, or full-screen mode is blocked by the host page's permissions policy, send the URL of the page you are embedding into and it can usually be sorted out with an attribute.

Numbers that disagree with each other

This site publishes a measurement and then quotes it in a lot of places: tables, prose, FAQ answers. Every one of those is supposed to be generated from the same source, and the tests exist to keep it that way. If you find a figure in a sentence that does not match the figure in the table next to it, that is a defect worth reporting and it will be treated as one — please include the page and both numbers.

What email cannot settle

Whether twenty-five minutes is the right length for your work, whether a twenty-minute nap suits you, or how long anything should be cooked — those are outside what this site knows, and it would be a disservice to answer them with confidence. The pages describe what the timer does and are deliberately quiet about what you should do with it.

Before writing

A fair number of questions are already answered: how the timing method works and what it cannot promise is on the about page, the measurement itself is on the home page, data handling and advertising cookies on the privacy page, and the length-specific questions — background tabs, alarms, deep links — in the FAQ on each duration page such as the 10 minute timer or the Pomodoro timer.

Replies come from one person doing this alongside other work, so they usually take a few days.
