OneTap can show countdowns for more than one saved action. The point is to see what each timer belongs to, not to start more sessions than you can realistically follow.
Multiple countdowns are useful only when every control stays attached to the intended task.
Read the task name first
Before pausing, moving or completing anything, inspect the card’s title. On desktop, cards can sit side by side with horizontal scrolling. On mobile, Next countdown changes the visible card. A card hidden behind another view still belongs to its original task.
Decide one task at a time
Open the relevant card when you need to see its source or editor. Use the focus pause for a session interruption and the review pause for scheduled prompts. Keeping those controls distinct prevents a tidy-looking dock from masking an unchanged reminder plan.
Keep the task and its review separate
Name concurrent sessions so their cards remain distinguishable. “Read the service notice” and “review the appointment instructions” are easier to control than two cards both called “Review.” On a phone, use Next countdown and read the displayed title before pausing anything. On Mac, scroll to the relevant card and open its source when necessary. If only one task can receive your attention, pause the other focus session deliberately rather than letting both durations imply active work. You can leave separate review schedules in place for later. A readable dock helps you choose the current job; it should not encourage several unattended work sessions that all appear to be progressing.
One step at a time.
- 01
Check each card’s task title before using its controls.
- 02
Scroll desktop cards or use Next countdown on mobile.
- 03
Open the source when the remaining work is unclear.
- 04
Pause or move only the task you intend to change.
A little reference.
Keep the context and your next action together.
| Choice | Use it for | Check before saving |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop cards | See several active contexts | Scroll horizontally |
| Mobile card | Focus on one countdown | Use Next countdown |
| Task title | Identify the entry | Check before acting |
Does switching the visible card pause the other timer?
Changing which card is visible is not a pause. Use the timer’s explicit pause control when needed.
