How to Use

  1. 1 Start a work session by clicking the Start button. The default work session is 25 minutes, following the classic Pomodoro Technique.
  2. 2 Focus on your task until the timer completes. You can pause or reset at any time using the buttons or keyboard shortcuts (Space to start/pause, R to reset).
  3. 3 Take a break when the work session ends. Short breaks are 5 minutes, and after 4 pomodoros, you get a longer 15-minute break.
  4. 4 Customize settings by clicking the Settings button. Adjust work and break durations, enable sound notifications, and set auto-start preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a "pomodoro," named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

How long should work and break sessions be?

The classic Pomodoro Technique uses 25-minute work sessions with 5-minute short breaks and 15-30 minute long breaks after every 4 pomodoros. However, you can customize these durations in the settings. Some people prefer 50-minute sessions with 10-minute breaks for deeper focus.

Does the timer work in the background?

Yes! The timer continues running even if you switch tabs or minimize your browser. Enable notifications in the settings to receive alerts when sessions end. The timer uses your browser's built-in timing to ensure accuracy.
