| Sound | Optional rain, ocean, fireplace, café, night, brown or white noise and a focus pad — made in your browser, faded out at zero. |
| Memory | A running or paused countdown survives a reload or a browser restart, saved on this device only. |

About the 100 second timer
100 seconds is 1 minute and 40 seconds: long enough to feel, short enough to finish. It's how long it takes to count to 100 at a number a second, a stiff plank for most people, and a tight limit for a lightning pitch or a quick explainer. Press Start and the digits count down from 1:40, with the clock time it will finish shown underneath.
A 100 second timer (1 minute 40 seconds) for plank challenges, 100-second pitches and hide-and-seek counts. Shows its finish time; 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.
