Question 1

Is ClockAura free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tool on ClockAura is free. No sign-up, no credit card, no premium tier. The site is supported by lightweight ads and we will keep the core timers free forever.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up or install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. ClockAura runs entirely in your browser. Open the URL and use any tool immediately. There is no account, no download, no app to install.

Question 3

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs or minimise the browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The countdown keeps running and the remaining time is shown in the browser tab title. An alarm plays when the time is up, even if the tab is in the background.

Question 4

Does ClockAura work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After the first visit the page is cached so the timers, stopwatch, Pomodoro and ambient sounds work without an internet connection.

Question 5

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

Accepted Answer

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and repeat. After four rounds you take a longer 15 to 30 minute break. ClockAura's Pomodoro Timer auto-cycles the work and break intervals.

Question 6

What is the most accurate online stopwatch?

Accepted Answer

ClockAura's online stopwatch is accurate to within a few milliseconds on modern desktops, using the browser's performance.now() API. Lap times are stored locally and can be exported after the run.

Question 7

Can I share a timer link with someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every preset timer has a unique URL — for example /5-minute-timer or /pomodoro-timer. You can also create an Event Countdown that generates a shareable link to any future date.

Question 8

Is ClockAura suitable for classrooms or group activities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Classroom Mode shows enormous projector-friendly digits readable from across a room. Teachers use it for timed activities, transitions and exam practice. The Random Picker is also useful for choosing students fairly.
