Frequently asked questions
How does the tabata timer work?
8 rounds of 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest — the classic high-intensity interval, 4 minutes all-in. The parameters below are the defaults; the timer itself lets you change them.
Does it make a sound?
Yes — a short beep synthesised in your browser at each transition. No audio files, no downloads. On silent mode it vibrates where the browser allows.
Will my screen turn off mid-round?
The timer requests a wake lock so it should not. Browsers grant it only on secure pages, and it is released when you stop or leave.
