How it works
Select New timer or choose another past entry in Recent Billables, then press Play. Up to three timers can count simultaneously. Use the timer strip to switch editors; switching or closing the editor keeps every running timer counting. Each timer retains its own client, matter, duration and entry, including after refresh.

| Finish and log | Saves the time entry and clears that timer. | Multi-timer enabled |

Running-timer email
If a timer runs for five continuous hours, Lexchange sends one reminder to your account email. The scheduler checks every ten minutes and can send the nudge after you close the tab. Pausing resets the continuous-run threshold. Turn these emails off in Adviser → Settings & delivery if needed; they run independently of the daily digest.
Without Multi-timer
The standard timer uses Start, Log time, Duplicate and start new, and Cancel. Pause and resume are not shown.
