What is the Pomodoro technique?
You work in short blocks: 25 minutes of focus, then a 5-minute break. After 4 focus sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. Each block is short enough to start without much effort, and the breaks keep you from wearing out.
How to use
- Press Start and work on one task until the alarm rings.
- When the focus session ends, the timer switches to a break. Press Start again, or turn on automatic start to keep going without touching it.
- The dots show where you are in the cycle. After the last one comes the long break.

FAQ
- Will the alarm ring if I switch tabs?
- Yes. The alarm is scheduled ahead of time, so it rings on time in a background tab. The tab title also shows the time left.
- Why 25 minutes?
- It is the classic length. If you lose focus sooner, try 15 or 20 minutes; for deep work, try 50 minutes with a 10-minute break.
