Set a 6 hour timer for a half-day block, long cook or study session. It survives sleep and tab throttling, tells you the exact clock time it ends, and can play rain or brown noise the whole way through.
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.
