Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses focused 25-minute work sessions (called pomodoros) followed by short breaks. After 4 pomodoros, you take a longer break. This helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.
How long are the work sessions and breaks?
By default, work sessions are 25 minutes, short breaks are 5 minutes, and long breaks (after 4 pomodoros) are 15 minutes. All durations are customizable in the settings to match your preferences.
Can I customize the timer durations?
Yes! Click the settings button to customize work duration (1-60 minutes), short break duration (1-30 minutes), long break duration (1-60 minutes), and the number of sessions until a long break (2-10).
Does the timer automatically switch between work and breaks?
Yes, when a work session completes, the timer automatically switches to a short break (or long break after completing the configured number of sessions). You will hear a notification sound, and you can start the next session when ready.
What should I do during breaks?
During breaks, step away from your work. Stretch, walk around, get water, or do breathing exercises. Avoid screens if possible. The goal is to give your mind a rest before the next focused session.
Are my settings saved?
Yes, your custom timer settings are automatically saved to your browser and will persist across sessions, so you don't have to reconfigure them each time.
