Worked examples
Concrete numbers and cases you can check against the tool above.
25-minute focus block
Set a 25:00 countdown for a Pomodoro, then a 5:00 break. The stopwatch + laps mode is better for workouts where you want split times instead of a single alarm. Keep the tab audible if you need the alert; browsers may throttle background timers.

- Run Pomodoro-style focus blocks.
- Time HIIT intervals with lap splits.
- Countdown a presentation rehearsal.
- Track boiling or baking steps in the kitchen.
Inputs and outputs
