How the Pomodoro technique works
- Pick one task and press Start to focus for 25 minutes.
- When the timer rings, take a 5-minute break. After every fourth session, take a longer 15-minute break.
- Repeat. Your focus minutes and sessions are counted for today and shown for the last 7 days.
Frequently asked questions
Why 25 minutes?
It is long enough to get real work done and short enough to stay concentrated. You can change every length in Settings.
Will it keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer counts down to a fixed end time, so it finishes on time even in a background tab, and the remaining time shows in the tab title.
How do I get an alert when a session ends?
Allow notifications when asked, or press “Turn on notifications”. A sound also plays unless you switch it off.
