Good uses for a 2 hour timer
- Parking with a two-hour limit (set it a little short)
- A long exam or mock paper
- Slow cooking and roasting
- A study or work marathon with a break at the end
- Screen-time limits
- Charging or curing something
Tips
- For parking, set 1 hour 50 minutes in Settings so you have time to walk back.
- Keep the tab open and the computer awake: a closed tab cannot sound the alarm, though the timer comes back with the same end time when you open the page again.
- The blocks turn orange in the last 10 minutes and red with stripes in the last 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Questions and answers
How many minutes is 2 hours?
120 minutes, or 7,200 seconds.
Can I set a timer longer than 2 hours?
Yes. Open Settings and set hours, minutes and seconds. The timer goes up to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
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.
