How to set multiple timers at once

Use Multi Timer for independent countdowns on one screen. Ordinary Clockfresh timer tabs restore and control the same saved session in the same browser profile.

Run independent timers in parallel

1. Open Multi Timer and add the countdowns you need.
2. Give each one a task label and enter its duration.
3. Choose parallel mode when tasks overlap. Check each label and duration before starting.
4. Preview sound and keep the page open. Pause or reset the intended countdown using its own controls.

Parallel timers suit a group activity with several tasks or dishes following different recipes. The label should tell you what to check at the signal. Timer lengths for cooking must come from the recipe, not from a generic example.

Use a sequence for consecutive steps

Sequence mode runs stages one after another. For example, an editorial demonstration could use “Prepare” for one minute, “Practice” for two minutes and “Review” for one minute. The full sequence takes four minutes. Those numbers demonstrate the controls; they are not an optimal schedule.

Put the steps in their intended order and inspect the next label before starting. Use the setup-sharing control when you want to reuse the durations and labels. A setup link contains configuration, not a remote synchronized meeting session.

Why a second ordinary timer tab is not independent

The single timer shares its saved state across Clockfresh timer pages in the same browser profile. Opening a ten-minute preset while a five-minute countdown is running restores the five-minute session. Pause in either tab affects that shared timer.

The restored-session notice shows the full duration. Reset returns to that duration. To replace it with the duration requested by the current page or setup link, use “Start page preset”. This replaces the shared timer in the other tabs too. Use Multi Timer when you need both countdowns to remain independent.

Before leaving the screen

Run a short test, check sound and keep the relevant page open. Saved state lets Clockfresh reconstruct the display after navigation, but it does not guarantee an alert while the browser is suspended or closed. See the reliability guide for the distinction.

Questions

Can two ordinary timer tabs have different countdowns?

They share one saved single-timer session in the same browser profile. Use Multi Timer for independent countdowns.

What does Reset do after a session is restored?

It returns to the restored timer’s full duration, shown in the notice. Use the page-preset button to replace that shared session with the requested duration.

Does a shared setup link synchronize other people’s timers?

No. It carries the setup. Each recipient runs that setup locally; it is not a remote live session.
