Question 1

Is it silent while it runs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bells sound only where you asked for them: one to begin, one to end, and optionally at the interval you set. Nothing ticks in between.

Question 2

What is the settling delay?

Accepted Answer

A short pause between pressing Begin and the opening bell, so you can put the phone down and get seated. Ten seconds by default, up to a minute, or off.

Question 3

Does it keep time in a background tab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sit follows the clock, not the tab, so it stays on time hidden and the closing bell still sounds. Keep awake stops the screen from locking mid-sit.

Question 4

Can it run open ended?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose open ended and it counts up until you end the sit, with interval bells if you want them.
