What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It breaks work into 25-minute focused intervals (called "Pomodoros") separated by short breaks, helping maintain concentration and prevent burnout.

25 minutes is the classic interval, but research shows that focused work periods of 20–30 minutes are optimal for maintaining concentration. You can customize the duration in Settings.

Can I customize the timer durations?

Yes. Click Settings to change the work duration (5–60 min), short break (1–15 min), and long break (5–30 min).

What happens after 4 Pomodoros?

After completing 4 work sessions, you earn a longer 15-minute break. This cycle helps sustain energy and focus throughout the day.

Does the timer work when I switch tabs?

The timer continues running in the background. The page title updates with the remaining time so you can track it from other tabs.
