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

  1. Press Start and work on one task until the alarm rings.
  2. 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.
  3. The dots show where you are in the cycle. After the last one comes the long break.
  4. Change the minutes and the number of sessions below. Your settings stay in this browser.

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.
