Timer 🟡 PREVIEW
Preview application. Usable today, not yet part of the supported surface.
Timer is a countdown and focus timer that lives in the suite, so a session timer does not have to live on another device.
What it does
| Capability | Detail |
|---|---|
| Countdown | Set a duration and run it down |
| Focus sessions | Built for work intervals rather than one-off alarms |
| Desktop presence | Runs as a window in the desktop shell, alongside the work it times |
Choosing between the time apps
The suite has three time-related surfaces, and they are not interchangeable:
| App | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Timer | A countdown for the next N minutes |
| Time Clock | Attendance and worked hours, with overtime records |
| Clock widget | Always-on current time on the desktop |
Use Timer for attention, Time Clock for the record, and the Clock widget for orientation.
Opening it
Timer is a preview application. Turn on the Preview switch in the left sidebar, then open Timer from the app menu.
