Have you been wondering why your session ends earlier than your partner or maybe goes a little longer? That could be due to time sync issues.
Time Sync Issues - For whatever reason, your browser isn't recognizing the time correctly -- you can check this by going to http://time.is and looking at the top to see if it corrected your time (see screenshot below)
If your device time is not exact, it can cause your timer and end of session chime to happen at a different time from your partner (as well as other issues).
To fix this, follow the instructions below for Windows and macOS.
Time Settings on Windows
To set your device's time on Windows, type "Control Panel" into the search box in the Start Menu. Open the Control Panel, and go to "Clock and Region."
From there, go to "Date and Time". On the pop-up, select the "Internet Time" tab, and then click "Change settings."
Check the box that says "Synchronize with an internet time server" to automatically sync the clock. Then select a server from the drop-down menu and click "Update now."
Select OK, and then you can head back to Focusmate!
Time Settings on macOS
To fix your device time on macOS, click the "Apple" menu at the top left corner and open "System Settings".
Select "General" in the left sidebar and then click "Date and Time" on the right. From there, make sure that "Set date and time automatically" is turned on.
Select a time server from the source section to sync with.
Once you're done, close the window and head back to Focusmate!
