FAQs

BuzzD Timer is somewhere off screen

Press Ctrl + Shift + R. This resets the window: it returns to its default size, moves to the centre of the screen, brings back the title bar, and unlocks moving and resizing.

Where are my exported events saved?

Straight to your Downloads folder, as buzzd-timer-events.json (for example C:\Users\<you>\Downloads). No save dialog appears; the file is ready to import again whenever you need it.
