examples

• Pomodoro timer: The default pomodoro timer has 25 minute work periods and 5 minute breaks. Every 4th break is 20 minutes and every 8th break is 50 minutes. Note that the beep volume is set to 15% in this example. The volume defaults to 0 and isn't audible unless it's set.

• Tabata timer: 8 cycles of 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for a total of 3 minutes and 50 seconds and then followed by an extended 4 minute break before starting another round. The beep volume is set to 25%, which may need to be adjusted for personal preferences.

• Countdown timer: Countdown from 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. Note the breaks will still occur and the countdown will begin again.

why no stop/pause button?

This timer is specifically designed for pomodoros and tabatas which don't allow pausing. If you have to pause, you actually have to start over. With this timer the query string parameter c can be used to restart the round that was interrupted. For example, to start at round 5:
