Timer

Design Intent: Set a subtle but informative timer the moment you realize you need one.
  • Type "timer" at the beginning of a note to see the tutorial
  • Unlike Keywords, Timer commands can activated at the beginning of any new line.
  • "timer" - Starts a stopwatch
  • "timer 3.5" / "timer 3:30" - Starts a countdown timer for 3.5 minutes
  • Title a countdown timer with "timer 5: Do laundry"
  • Titles can contain colons — the title starts at the first colon that isn't followed by a number, so "timer 5: Errands: bank, post office" keeps the whole title.
  • "timer 5 1" - Starts a pomodoro timer with 5 minutes of work and 1 minute of rest
  • "timer pomo" - Starts a standard pomodoro of 25 mins / 5 mins
  • "timer p" - Pause / Resume timer
  • "timer r" - Restart current timer
  • "timer s" / "timer 0" - Stop timer
  • You can also click the timer to pause, or double-click it to stop.
  • Esc (while timer is running) Stop timer
