Frequently Asked Questions
If I pause the timer, does it restart from the original time?
No. Pause freezes the remaining milliseconds, and Start resumes from that frozen remainder by creating a new target timestamp from now.
Why didn't changing the date field update a countdown that was already running?
The date input only resyncs the remaining time when the timer is not running. Once started, the countdown follows its stored target until you pause or reset it.
Can I type a custom 23 minute 17 second duration directly?
Not in this version. Quick duration mode only gives you +1 min, +5 min, +10 min, +1 hour, and Clear, so custom durations are built by repeated clicks.
Why do I see a future date by default when the page opens?
The tool pre-fills the datetime input to one hour ahead of the current local time. That gives you a valid starting target without entering a date manually.
Why didn't I hear a sound when the timer hit zero?
The tool tries to play a short Web Audio beep when the countdown finishes, but that depends on browser audio support and whether the page is allowed to start audio output.
