📘 About the Countdown Timer
Enter the hours, minutes and seconds or click a preset, then press Start. The time left shows in the page title, so you can see it from another tab, and an alarm plays when it reaches zero.
Use it for cooking, exams, presentations, workouts or breaks. Pause and resume at any time.
