    FAQ
    Is the timer accurate when the tab is in the background?

    We anchor to the wall clock via setTimeout(fire) plus visibilitychange recalibration. Browsers throttle background tabs, so the fire can be delayed 1-5 s. For critical timers keep the tab visible or enable "System notification".

    Will it still fire if I close the tab?

    No. This tool runs in your browser; closing the tab stops everything. Refreshing the page automatically restores an in-progress countdown (by replaying from the saved start epoch).

    Can iOS Safari vibrate?

    No. iOS Safari does not support the Vibration API — we skip silently. Sound, visual notifications, and system notifications (PWA mode only) still work.

    Why is there no sound until the first Start click?

    Browsers require a user gesture to unlock AudioContext (iOS Safari is especially strict). The first Start click unlocks audio; all subsequent bells will play.

    Which input formats are supported?

    Colon (1:30:00 / 5:30), unit expression (1h30m / 90s), Chinese natural language, ISO 8601 (PT1H30M), and bare numbers (interpreted as seconds). Maximum 24 hours.
