About the 10 Minute Timer
A 10 minute countdown that keeps running in a background tab and tells you the clock time it will finish at. Fullscreen it for a room to see, add rain or brown noise while it runs, and get an alarm at zero.
TimerHub calculates remaining time from an absolute finish timestamp, so missed browser callbacks do not create drift. Read the timing accuracy methodology and reproducible tests.
