What Multi Timer does, with a checked example
Multi Timer keeps several labeled countdowns visible at once, so unrelated durations can overlap without being confused. Enter a name and duration for each activity, then run the timers during the same period. Each countdown represents its own remaining time; the name identifies the activity but does not affect the calculation. The common misread is that "parallel" means synchronized. It only means the timers can run concurrently. Timers started at different moments will not share the same elapsed time, even if their original durations match.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Tea: 5 minutes
Eggs: 8 minutes
Start both together and let them run for exactly 2 minutes.
->
Expected output
Tea: 3 minutes remaining
Eggs: 6 minutes remaining
Both countdowns lose the same two minutes because they started together. Five minus two leaves three, while eight minus two leaves six.
