TIMERshare is an online timer tool designed to make pair programming and mob programming more efficient. It can **be accessed and shared through a browser from any internet-connected device** (Desktop/Mobile/TV...).

In pair programming or mob programming, members take turns working as the driver and navigator, allowing them to share skills and understanding, improve quality and detect bugs early, and enhance teamwork and communication.\
To maintain focus while collaborating, [**sharing a timer on the same schedule**](/en/quick-start/share/get-share-link.md) is essential.

TIMERshare enables multiple people **to easily share a fully synchronized timer from separate devices**.

In pair programming or mob programming, it's common **to use two or more timers** for driver-navigator switching and maintaining focus.\
For example, TIMERshare can be used to manage rotations by incorporating **the Pomodoro Technique**, with a cycle of 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break.

You can create multiple timers and [**link** them](/en/quick-start/advanced-settings-operation/set-link-repeat.md#link-sections) so that when one timer ends, the next one starts automatically. Furthermore, [using the repeat function](/en/quick-start/advanced-settings-operation/set-link-repeat.md#repeat-sections), you can restart the first timer when the last one finishes.\
This hands-free approach allows you to smoothly transition to the next task without interrupting your workflow.

**Pomodoro Technique**\
By repeating a cycle of "25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break," you can maintain high productivity while taking regular breaks.

With TIMERshare,[ **chimes and flashes**](/en/quick-start/customize/time-management.md) **notify you not only when the timer ends but also as it approaches completion**, making it easier to wrap up tasks naturally and transition to the next one. This allows you to focus on your programming without constantly watching the clock, helping you maintain concentration as you progress through tasks.

In pair programming or mob programming, it can be challenging to keep a timer visible on the desktop screen, as it’s primarily used for coding.

With TIMERshare, **the font size automatically adjusts based on screen size**, allowing for easy visibility on any device, whether a mobile phone or tablet.

**The timer's design can** [**be customized individually**](/en/quick-start/customize/edit-display-timer-layout.md). You can adjust the visuals to match your work environment or preference, whether it's a simple timer or a more colorful design.

**The navigator doesn’t need to manage the time.**
