Questions people ask

Why fifteen minutes?
Long enough to make progress on a task and short enough to start without dreading it, which is why it is used for study sprints and classroom activities.
Can it show a ring instead of digits?
Yes: under More options, show it as a ring that empties, which is easier to read across a room.
What happens at the end?
A bell rings and the page says the time it finished. Choose another sound under More options.
