How to use it
- The countdown is already set to 5:00. Press Start when the break begins.
- Pause if you need to step away. Reset returns to the duration currently shown.

- Closing the tab or sleeping the device can miss the sound.
Questions
What is a 5 minute timer useful for?
A short break between tasks, a stretch, or a reset before the next thing. It is one countdown, not a sequence of work and break sessions.
Will refreshing this page keep a running 5 minute timer?
Refreshing brings the page back to 5:00. A countdown you started on the main timer page is stored separately and is not changed by this page.
