Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?▼
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into 25-minute focused intervals called 'pomodoros', separated by 5-minute breaks. After completing four pomodoros, you take a longer 15-20 minute break. It helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Can I customize the focus and break durations?▼
The classic Pomodoro Technique uses fixed 25/5/15-minute intervals, which this tool follows. These durations are research-backed for optimal focus and recovery. If you find 25 minutes too short or too long, you can mentally adjust, but most people find the standard intervals work well after a few sessions.
Does the timer keep running when I switch tabs?▼
Yes. The timer continues running in the background even when you switch to other browser tabs. You will receive a notification when the focus or break period ends, so you can concentrate on your work in other tabs or applications without worrying about missing the timer.
