Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard length for a freestyle round?

There is no official number, but the conventions are fairly settled: 30 seconds for quick cypher passes, 60 seconds for the common online challenge format, and 90 seconds to two minutes for a full verse or a battle round. This timer defaults to 60 and offers all four, so you can match whatever format you are training for.

Can I use the clock without the word feed?

Yes. Untick Auto-advance to the next word and the countdown runs on its own with a single word held on screen — or ignore the word entirely and use it as a plain round clock for cyphers where someone else is calling topics. Round length takes any value you type, so it works as a general-purpose practice timer too.

Does it make a sound when time runs out?

It ticks over the last five seconds so you can feel the round closing without watching the screen, then plays a ding at zero. Your browser needs one click or tap anywhere on the page before it will allow audio — that is a browser rule, not a setting here — so the first spin unlocks the sound.

What happens if I switch tabs mid-round?

The clock keeps correct time. Browsers throttle background tabs, so a naive timer would drift or freeze; this one tracks the actual end time and recalculates when you come back, meaning a round you started before switching away will show the right number when you return.

Can a group use one timer for a cypher?

That is the main use. Put the screen where everyone can see it, set 30 or 60 seconds, and pass the mic on the ding. Because the spin restarts the clock automatically, whoever is up next just hits SPIN and the round is live — no fiddling with controls between people.
