Frequently asked questions

How do I start a 4 minute timer?

Press Start (or hit Space). The countdown begins and the alarm plays once 4 minutes elapse.

What is a 4 minute timer good for?

Steeping black tea, a short breathing set, a plank challenge round, or a quick stand-up meeting slot.

Does it work in a background tab?

Yes. Tickline anchors the countdown to a real end-timestamp, so it stays accurate even if you switch tabs.
