How the meditation timer works
- Choose a session length and an optional interval bell.
- Press Start, settle comfortably, and return attention to your breath when distracted.
- Pause when needed; a gentle tone marks intervals and the end of the session.
How timing stays accurate
The timer records a finishing timestamp and repeatedly compares it with the current browser time. This avoids accumulating small scheduling delays during the session.
time remaining = finish time - current time
FAQ
Can I pause a meditation session?
Yes. Pause keeps the remaining time in place, and Start continues the session from that point.
What are interval bells for?
An interval bell gives a gentle time cue during a longer session without requiring you to look at the screen.
Why does the sound begin only after I press Start?
Browsers require a user action before allowing generated audio. Starting the timer enables its interval and completion tones.
Does the timer stay accurate in a background tab?
The timer uses a fixed finishing time, so it corrects the displayed time when the browser gives the tab processing time again.
Is my meditation activity saved?
No. The selected duration and timer state remain in the current browser tab and reset when the page is reloaded.
