Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. You work in focused 25-minute intervals (called 'pomodoros') followed by 5-minute breaks. After 4 pomodoros, you take a longer 15-30 minute break. This rhythm helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Can I customize the timer durations?
Yes! You can adjust the focus time (default 25 min), short break (default 5 min), and long break (default 15 min) to suit your workflow. Some people prefer 50/10 splits or 45/15 splits.
Does it auto-switch between focus and break?
Yes, the timer automatically transitions from focus to break and back again. After 4 focus sessions, it triggers a long break. You'll hear an audio notification at each transition so you know when to switch.
How many Pomodoro sessions should I do?
Most productivity experts recommend 4-8 pomodoros per day for intense focus work. Start with 4 (about 2 hours of focused work) and adjust based on your energy and workload.
