How to use this timer
Clear the desk, press Start, and work on one thing only. When it rings, take a real break away from the screen.
About this length
A 20-minute study timer for focused revision blocks. Set it before you open your notes and work until the alarm sounds, then take a short break. The display turns amber and red in the final seconds so you can pace the last stretch.

How long is a 20-minute study timer?

Why choose 20 minute for study?
This is the core study interval — a Pomodoro-style block that's long enough for real progress and short enough to sustain across an afternoon.
Does it keep running if I switch tabs?
