Good uses for a 10 minute timer
- A short reading or reading-aloud session
- Meditation or a wind-down before bed
- A ten-minute workout or walk
- Timed writing or a quick brainstorm
- A screen-time warning before switching off
- Group work or a short test section in class
Tips
- If you meditate, choose the Soft or Bell sound and lower the volume so the end is gentle.
- Keep this tab open; you can use other tabs and the alarm still sounds on time.
- On a phone, keep the screen on: TimerNook asks your browser to keep it awake while the timer runs, where the browser allows it.

Questions and answers
How do I pause the 10 minute timer?
Press Pause (or the space bar on a keyboard). Press Resume to carry on from the same time.
Can I make the alarm quieter?
Yes. Use the Volume slider next to the sound list and press Test sound to check it before you start.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. TimerNook works out the time left from your device clock and a fixed end time, not by counting ticks, so a background tab is still right. While a timer runs, the page also plays a tone too quiet to hear, so the browser keeps the tab awake; your browser may show a speaker icon on the tab. If you also tick "Notify me", you get a system notification at the end.
Will the alarm ring if my phone screen locks?
Not always. Phone browsers can pause web pages when the screen locks, and an iPhone on silent can mute browser sound. Keep the screen on; while the timer runs TimerNook asks the browser to keep the screen awake where that is supported. If the page was paused, the alarm rings as soon as you return.
