How it works

Simple by design.

  1. 01Choose a visual or open its own timer page. Each keeps an independent countdown and saved duration.
  2. 02Use continuous or equal-band rainbows, or set separate green, amber, and red traffic stages. Zero-length traffic stages skip automatically.
  3. 03Pause, resume, or use fullscreen. Every illustration follows the real timer, including after switching tabs.
  4. 04At zero, the countdown stops and stays completed. Restart it manually when you are ready.
  5. 05The illustration follows the real timer. Each mode keeps its own duration and running state.

Questions, answered.

Do different fun visuals share one running countdown?

Each visual has its own saved countdown. Switching visuals does not reset another running timer. Open an individual timer page to return to that same mode's saved state.

Will a countdown restart automatically at zero?

No. A countdown stops at zero and stays completed. To run it again, press Restart yourself; switching pages or refreshing does not start another run.

Will alerts sound if my device sleeps?

Timing catches up from timestamps when the browser resumes. Audio can be delayed or blocked while suspended; keep the page open and the device awake for important alerts.
