Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Pomodoro Timer keep running when I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer is based on a stored start timestamp and computes elapsed time via Date.now(), so it stays accurate even when browsers throttle background tabs. The display refreshes when you return without losing time.
Will I hear an alert when time's up?
Yes. The timer plays a chime when it reaches zero. Make sure your browser tab isn't muted (check the speaker icon next to the title) and that system volume is up. Mobile Safari requires a user gesture before audio can play.
Can I pause and resume mid-session?
Yes. Click pause to freeze the count, then resume to continue from the same point. Remaining time is preserved in browser memory until you reset or close the tab. Reloading the page clears the current session.
