Short Help for simple timer

How to use the simple timer?

Click on the time to set the hours, minutes, and seconds you want your timer on. Then click the Play button to start the timer. Once the timer is started, the play button converts to a pause button and an extra button to Reset the timer back to your original countdown appears.

For fast navigation, use your keyboard. SPACE will make the timer start if is not started yet or is paused. If the timer is running use SPACE to pause the timer. When the time is paused, use the ESC key to reset the countdown.

The additional presets are working with multiple countdown timers, each set for a specific part of the preset. For example, the Daily Standup preset offers 5 countdowns of 3 minutes each, so that each member in a 5 people team share their updates. Whenever each timer is about to end, you will see a notification on the bottom right corner of the timer.

How to use the timer for focus?

You can use the Pomodoro technique already offered as a preset to maintain your focus. Pomodoro preset offers 3 focus countdowns of 25 minutes and 2 breaks of 5 minutes.

An alternative approach would be to set a simple countdown to 90 minutes of focus to achieve a hyper focus state, called Ultrarian cycle.

How to use the timer for workout?

You can use either HIIT or Tabata presets for your workout. Both are interval training techniques with cycles of high intensity to cooldown.

You can also check max number of exercise repetitions (reps), by setting a simple countdown timer to a time of convenience and check what's the max reps you'll get 🙂
