Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It's a time management method that breaks work into 25-minute focus sessions called "pomodoros," each followed by a short break. After 4 pomodoros, you take a longer break. It helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Can I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes. Use the preset buttons or type any value directly into the minutes/seconds fields before pressing Start. Your changes only apply to the session you're about to start.
What happens after 4 focus sessions?
The timer automatically suggests a long break (15–30 minutes) instead of a short one. Your session count is shown above the timer, and it resets after each long break.
Does it notify me when a session ends?
An alarm sound plays and the display flashes when a session ends. You can turn the sound on or off with the "Play sound when done" option. No sound will play if your browser or device is muted.
