Frequently asked questions

How long is a 5-minute breathing timer?

It counts down exactly 300 seconds (5 minute) and then plays an alarm that loops until you dismiss it.

Why choose 5 minute for breathing?

This length covers a full paced-breathing set with time to settle at the start and finish, rather than stopping the moment the rhythm arrives.

Does it keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown is anchored to a real end-timestamp, so a throttled background tab still finishes at the right moment.
