Why is 10 minutes the ideal length for a daily stand-up?

A 10 minute timer prevents meeting fatigue. It forces participants to be concise, focusing only on progress and blockers rather than getting bogged down in technical details. AFFiNE's integrated timer helps teams stick to this limit.

How can I use a 10 minute timer for the Pomodoro Technique?

While 25 minutes is standard for work, a 10-minute countdown is often used for 'extended breaks' or 'mini-sprints' for simpler tasks. AFFiNE allows you to pair your timer directly with your task list for seamless tracking.

Does the AFFiNE 10 minute timer have an alarm sound?

Yes. Our online 10 minute timer features a clear, non-distressing alarm to notify you when the time is up, making it perfect for both quiet offices and active classroom environments.
