About this timer

Most three-minute tasks share one property: going over is the failure mode. A fourth minute turns noodles soft, thirty seconds sets an egg yolk solid, and an opening that runs past three minutes loses the room.

That makes visibility matter more than precision. While you prep the rest of the meal or move through slides, the PiP window keeps the count above whatever else is on screen.

Turn on the completion sound in settings if you also want an audible cue. Note that fully closing the browser tab ends the timer.
