Frequently asked questions
Why not just use 30 minutes?
Recipes and workouts often specify 28 minutes, and two extra minutes can overbake a cake. Use the exact length the recipe gives, then check.
Can I pause for a phone call?
Press Space to pause and Space again to resume. The remaining time is kept exactly.
Can I get a louder alarm?
Beep is the sharpest of the three sounds. Turn up your device volume; the alarm repeats three times.
