Behavior

  • The timer starts immediately when the hotkey is pressed — no confirmation dialog
  • Adjusting time with ↑/↓ works even during countdown
  • When the timer reaches 0:00, it stays on screen and shows elapsed time below (e.g., 0:00 (1:15))
  • The timer continues running in the background when switching to other apps
  • You can also start the timer from the menu bar icon → Break
  • Draw mode (⌃2) and Break Timer (⌃3) can run simultaneously
