How the pomodoro technique works
- Pick one task and press Start. Work on only that until the timer rings (25 minutes by default).
- Take a short break (5 minutes): stand up, stretch, get a drink.
- After four focus blocks, take a long break (15 minutes). The dots show how many you’ve done.
The counter at the top shows how many focus blocks you’ve finished today.
Questions
Can I change the lengths? Yes, open Settings. Many people prefer 50 minutes of focus with 10-minute breaks for deep work.
Does it keep going if I close the tab? Yes. It remembers when the block ends, so it’s right when you come back. Keep the page open if you want to hear the alarm.
What does Skip do? It ends the current block straight away and moves on to the next one.
