Frequently asked questions

Are the sounds streamed?
No. They are lightweight tones generated by the Web Audio API.
Will it run in a background tab?
The countdown uses the target end time, but browser power-saving behavior can delay visible updates.
How long should a focus session be?
Twenty-five to fifty minutes works for many tasks, but choose a length you can protect from interruptions.
