How to use the Pomodoro timer

  1. Pick one task and press Start. The timer runs a 25-minute focus session.
  2. Work on that task only until the alarm sounds.
  3. Take a 5-minute short break. After four focus sessions, take a longer 15-minute break.
  4. Change any of the times in the boxes to suit you, for example 50 minutes of focus and 10 of rest.

Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

It is a time management method that splits work into short, focused sessions, traditionally 25 minutes, separated by short breaks. Many people find the fixed time makes it easier to start and to stay on one task.

Can I change the session lengths?

Yes. Edit the Focus, Short and Long boxes above the music controls. The timer uses your new values straight away.

Does the music play automatically?

The music starts when a focus session starts and pauses on breaks, as long as "Music plays with timer" is ticked. Untick it to use the timer silently.

Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes, it keeps counting in the background and the time shows in your browser tab's title. The alarm still sounds when a session ends.
