Getting Started: A Step-by-Step Guide for this 114 Minutes timer
- Set Duration: Input the desired hours, minutes, and seconds for your timer using the 'h', 'm', 's' fields. This page is conveniently preset to 114 Minutes, but you can adjust it.
- Name Your Timer (Optional): Click on "My Timer" (or the current timer name) to give your countdown a custom label like "Work Break" or "Cooking Time." This helps identify it, especially with session restore.
- Start and Pause: Click the green Start button to begin the countdown. You'll see the time ticking down, including hundredths of a second, and a progress bar. The button will change to a yellow Pause button. Click it to halt the timer. Clicking Start again resumes it.
- After Zero: Once the timer reaches 00:00:00.00, an alert sound will play (if enabled). The timer will then start counting *up*, displaying "Time exceeded by...". You can pause and resume this upward count as well.
- Reset: Click the Reset button to return the timer to its initially set duration (or the preset duration if on a preset page), ready to be started again. This works whether the timer is counting down, counting up, or paused.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How accurate is the 114 Minutes timer?
The timer uses your browser's internal clock and precise JavaScript timing functions (`Date.now()`) for high accuracy in a web environment. The main display updates frequently to show hundredths of a second while counting down. While excellent for everyday tasks like cooking, workouts, or study breaks, for mission-critical or life-dependent timing, a dedicated hardware timer is always recommended.
2. What happens if I close my browser or my computer goes to sleep?
The timer's state (set duration, name, remaining time, and even exceeded time if applicable) is saved in your browser's local storage. If the timer was running when the page was closed or your computer went to sleep, upon reopening, the "Session Restore" feature will calculate the time that passed and adjust the timer's remaining/exceeded time accordingly. For the sound alert to play, the browser tab must be open and your computer awake when the timer reaches zero.
3. Can I run multiple timers at once on this page?
This specific page is designed for a single, focused countdown timer. However, you can easily run multiple timers by opening this timer page in several different browser tabs. Each tab will manage its own independent timer instance.
4. Can I change the timer's alert sound?
Currently, the timer uses a standard, clear alert sound upon completion. You can toggle this sound on or off using the speaker icon in the utility bar, but the specific sound file itself is not customizable at this time.
5. Will the timer work if my internet connection drops?
Yes! Once the timer page has loaded, all countdown and alert functionalities run directly in your web browser using JavaScript. It does not require a continuous internet connection to keep counting down or to play the sound when it finishes. Session restore also relies on data saved locally in your browser.
6. Is my timer data private?
Absolutely. All timer settings, including its name, set duration, and current running state, are stored only in your web browser's local storage. This information is not sent to our servers or shared with any third parties.
