Floating timer that stays on top of your work
Add a task, then split it into steps you can finish in one sitting. Drag to reorder, or drop a task into another to make it a step.
How to float the timer
- Add a task and split it into steps, or just press play for a plain 10-minute block.
- Press the float button, the small window icon at the bottom right of the timer.
- The timer opens in its own small window that stays on top of every app. Drag it to any corner and resize it from its edges.
- To bring it back, close the small window or press “Bring it back” on the page.
Works above any app
The floating timer sits above your document, spreadsheet, code editor or video call, so the time left is always in the corner of your eye. It shows the step you're on next to the minutes, and the current row of the number pulses as the minute passes. No browser extension or download needed: it runs in the tab, and you can install it as an app to use it offline.

Questions
How does the floating timer work?
It uses picture-in-picture, the small floating window browsers use for videos. The timer stays above your other windows, so you can see how much time is left without switching tabs.
Does it stay on top on Mac and Windows?
Yes. The floating window stays above other apps on both, without installing anything. It's a feature of the browser, not an extension.
Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?
Closing the tab closes the floating window too, but the timer keeps time. Open the site again and it shows the right time left.
Can I hear it while it floats?
Yes. A soft chime plays each minute and another when time is up, whichever window you're in. Turn it off with the speaker button.
Is it free?
Yes. No account and no ads. Your tasks stay in your browser.
