How the Pomodoro Technique Works
A simple routine that helps you focus on one thing at a time.
Pick a Task
Add it to your task list with an estimate, or just type it in, so the session has a clear goal.
Focus for 25 Minutes
Start the timer and work on that one task without switching to anything else.
Take a Short Break
When the alarm rings, rest for 5 minutes. Stand up, stretch or drink some water.
Long Break After Four
After four focus sessions, take a longer break to recharge before the next round.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Pomodoro timer.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused sessions, traditionally 25 minutes long, separated by short breaks, and after four sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
How long is a Pomodoro?
The classic Pomodoro is 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute short break. After four focus sessions you take a long break, 15 minutes by default here. You can change every length in the settings, or pick a preset such as 50 / 10 / 30.
What counts as a completed session?
A focus session counts when the timer reaches zero (or when you press Finish in overtime mode, including the extra minutes). If you skip or reset a focus session before it ends, it is not added to your stats, and break sessions are never counted.
Do I need to keep the tab open?
Keep the tab open for the alarm and notification. The timer is based on the real clock, so it stays accurate even when the tab is in the background. If you close the page while it is running, it carries on counting and shows the right state when you return.
Can I change the durations and sounds?
Yes. Set your own focus, short break and long break lengths, how many focus sessions come before a long break, whether breaks and focus sessions start automatically, the alarm sound and its volume. You can also save up to four of your own presets.
What is overtime mode?
With overtime mode on, the timer does not stop when a focus session reaches zero. It rings once and then counts up, so you can stay in the flow. Press Finish when you are done and the extra minutes are added to your stats.
How do the task list and estimates work?
Add tasks with the number of Pomodoros you expect them to take, then click a task to work on it. Every focus session you complete is counted against that task, and the list shows how many sessions and how much focus time you have left.
What are focus sounds?
Focus sounds are white, pink and brown noise or a rain sound generated in your browser. They play only while a focus session is running and fade out when you pause or take a break.
What does strict mode do?
Strict mode asks you to press Skip or Reset twice before you can leave a focus session early, which helps you resist the urge to quit. Early exits are never counted in your stats.
Where are my stats and settings stored?
