How to use Pomodoro timer
Start a focus session
Press Start focus and work on one task until the timer ends. The default is 25 minutes.
Take the break
A sound plays when time’s up. Take a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute one after every 4 focus sessions.
Make it yours
Change the lengths, how often the long break comes and whether the next session starts by itself. Settings are remembered.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A time-management method from the late 1980s: work on one task for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and after four rounds take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
Why 25 minutes?
It’s long enough to make progress and short enough to stay focused. Many people prefer 50 minutes of work and 10 of rest; set any length from 1 to 240 minutes.
What should I do in the break?
Step away from the screen: stand up, stretch, get water or look out of a window. Avoid email and social media, which tend to stretch the break.
Does it work in a background tab?
Yes. The timer keeps true time in the background and plays a sound when a session ends. Tick “Notify me” for a system notification as well.
What does auto-start do?
When a session ends, the next one starts at once: a break after focus, focus after a break. Leave it off if you’d rather start each one yourself.
Can I skip a break?
Yes. Click Skip to move straight to the next session. Skipping a focus session counts it as done.
