The Pomodoro Technique is a simple focus method: work in short, intense intervals with intentional breaks to recharge. A common rhythm is 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5 minute break. After several cycles, take a longer break.

How this timer works:

• Modes: Focus, Short Break, Long Break.
• Defaults: Focus 25m, Short 5m, Long 15m, long break every 4 sessions. You can change these in Settings.
• Auto-start next interval: When enabled, the next mode starts automatically (even if this tab is in the background).
• Session counter: Increments after each completed Focus session.
• Notifications + sound: You’ll get a browser notification and a short beep pattern at the end of each interval.
• Controls: Start/Pause, Reset (resets current mode’s time), and Skip (advance to the next mode).

Tip: Keep tasks small and specific. Jot a quick goal before hitting Start, and adjust durations to match your energy.
