Frequently asked
My session ended but I didn't get a notification
Seshlo needs notification permission to alert you when a session ends while the app is in the background. Open Settings → Notifications → Seshlo and make sure Allow Notifications is on. For Focus mode bypass, also turn on Time-Sensitive Notifications.
If the app is in the foreground, the in-app pip sound and visual pulse handle the alert instead.
The pip sound doesn't play
Make sure:
• Your device isn't on silent. Seshlo plays through the media volume even when the ringer is muted.
• "Sound" is enabled in Seshlo's Settings (top-right pill on the home screen).
How do I save a session as a bookmark?
Pick your duration, then tap the Bookmark button next to Start. You'll be asked to give it a name. You can save up to 6 bookmarks; if you've used all 6, Seshlo will ask you to delete one before saving a new one.
How do I start the last session I ran?
The home screen shows "Last session" near the bottom — tap it and Seshlo runs that same duration straight away. For older sessions, tap "Recent & bookmarks" to bring up the full list.
Can I export my data?
There's nothing to export. Seshlo doesn't store anything remotely and keeps only your bookmarks, recents, and settings on your device. Uninstalling the app removes everything.
Why are some times rounded?
Under an hour: the displayed minutes are rounded up (ceiling) — a 25 minute timer shows "25m" until exactly 24 minutes remain, then ticks down. This matches how you'd think about the time, not how a stopwatch counts it.
Over an hour: hours floor with a 2-second grace at each boundary — a 5 hour timer briefly shows "5h" right after Start, then settles into "4h 59m", "4h 58m", and so on. The grace avoids a one-frame flicker on startup and at each hour mark.
Will the timer keep running if I close the app?
Yes. Seshlo records the moment you tap Start and the moment your session ends. When you re-open the app, it works out exactly how much time is left from those timestamps. Background notifications fire at the scheduled times even if the app is fully closed (as long as you granted notification permission).
Does Seshlo work on tablets?
Yes — Seshlo works on iPad. The layout is tuned for iPhone but scales cleanly to larger screens.
Will there ever be ads or a paid tier?
No. Seshlo is and will remain a free utility with no ads, no tracking, and no upsells.
