FAQ
- Does timer.new see my Slack messages?
- No. The slash command sends only the text after /timer — the duration — plus your team and channel IDs (Slack's standard slash-command payload). We never read other messages, and we don't request any read scopes.
- What's free, and what needs Pro?
- Installing and running /timer is free: it posts a shared, auto-started room anyone with the link can watch. Connect your account (Pro) and /timer instead publishes a timer you own — saved to your timers, with start, pause and reset controls. Each person connects their own account, so their /timer timers land in their account.
