What does a count-up timer do?

It measures elapsed time by counting upward from zero while the session is running.

How do I start the count-up timer?

Press Start to begin measuring elapsed time, then use the controls to pause or reset it.

Can I pause and resume elapsed time?

Yes. Pause the current session and resume it when you are ready.

Can I reset the count-up timer?

Yes. Reset returns the elapsed time to zero for a new session.

Can I use a count-up timer for work?

Yes. Use it to track how long a task, study session, or activity takes.

Does the count-up timer need an app?

No. The tool runs in a modern browser.

Can I use the timer on a phone?

Does it keep counting if I close the browser?

Keep the page open during a session because closing it may stop the timer.
