# How to Use

Setting the Timer

1. Use the Minutes and Seconds input fields to enter a countdown duration (minutes up to 999, seconds 0–59).
2. Changes take effect immediately — the display updates as you type.

Controls

• Start — begins the countdown. If paused, resumes from where you left off. If already running, does nothing.
• Pause — pauses the countdown. Press Start to resume.
• Reset — stops the timer and resets the display to the values in the input fields.

Notifications

• When the timer reaches zero, an in-app beep sounds (via Web Audio API).
• An OS notification is also scheduled at the start of each run, so you'll get a system alert even if the app window is hidden or minimised.

Data Persistence

• All timer state (remaining time, running/paused status) is saved to localStorage every second.
• If you close the app and reopen it, the timer resumes exactly where it was (still counting down if it was running).
• If the timer was running when you left, it will continue counting down automatically on load.

Tips

• Input fields are disabled while the timer is running to prevent accidental changes.
• To change the time mid-run, Reset first, then adjust and Start again.
• The status line below the buttons shows: "Ready", "Running", "Paused", or "Time is up!".
