A 45 minute timer that keeps counting in a background tab, shows the clock time it will finish at, and sounds an alarm at zero. Fullscreen for a class or meeting room, with optional rain or brown noise while it runs. No ads, no signup.
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.
