Questions
Does it keep time when the tab is in the background?
Yes. The timer is based on the wall clock rather than counting ticks, so pausing, resuming and background gaps keep the exact time. Browsers may still delay the chime in a background tab; a desktop notification is more reliable.
Do breaks start automatically?
Only if you turn on Start breaks automatically or Start focus sessions automatically. Otherwise the timer stops after each phase and waits for you.
