Alerts for Timers

Never miss a timer ending again. Kollabe now plays an audio alert when your retrospective or planning poker timer completes—even when you're in another tab.

What's New

Timer Audio Notifications Get an audible alert when your timer ends. Whether you're checking Slack, reviewing documentation, or working in another tab, you'll hear when it's time to move forward.

Simple Toggle Control Enable or disable audio alerts with a single checkbox when setting your timer. The setting remembers your preference for a seamless experience session after session.

Why It Matters

Facilitators often juggle multiple tasks during sessions—monitoring chat, preparing the next activity, or handling unexpected questions. A silent timer means constantly switching back to check the countdown, disrupting your flow and focus.

Audio alerts keep sessions moving smoothly without constant tab-switching. Your team stays engaged, transitions happen on time, and you can facilitate more naturally without watching the clock.

Available now for all Kollabe users with retrospectives and planning poker timers.
