Small signal, surprisingly useful
A tab alert for the moment that matters
A flashing title is a lightweight visual cue when you are waiting in another tab. It does not interrupt the whole computer; it simply makes this page easier to notice.
Good to know: browsers can slow background timers to save power, especially on mobile. Keep the page open and use this as a helpful visual cue, not a critical alarm.
Waiting on a timer
Make a completed countdown easier to spot from another tab.
Watching a live queue
Draw your eye back to a dashboard, chat, or turn-based activity.
Staying on task
Use a playful “still there?” as a gentle focus nudge.
