Pomodoro Timer

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

It is a time management method that breaks work into 25-minute focus sessions called pomodoros, each followed by a 5-minute break. After four pomodoros you take a longer 15 to 30 minute break.

Why 25 minutes?

Twenty-five minutes is short enough to feel manageable and long enough to enter deep focus, which helps reduce procrastination and mental fatigue across the day.

Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes, the countdown continues in the background tab. Keep the page open so the alarm can fire when the session ends.
