Tab Title Timer

A countdown that shows in your browser tab, so you can monitor time while working in other windows.

How to use the tab title timer

Set your desired countdown duration and press Start. Your browser tab title changes to show the remaining time — for example '24:37 — QuickOfficeTools'. You can switch to other tabs, work in other applications, and glance at the tab strip at any time to see how much time is left.

When the countdown reaches zero, the tab title changes to 'Done' and an audio alert plays.
