Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that breaks work into 25-minute focused intervals separated by short breaks.
Why does 25 minutes work best?
25 minutes is long enough to make significant progress but short enough not to feel overwhelming, creating a sense of urgency.
When should I take a long break?
After completing four Pomodoros, take a long break (15–30 min) to fully recharge before your next set.
How to Use the Pomodoro Timer
To start a session, click 'Start' to begin the default 25-minute Pomodoro. When the timer ends, switch to 'Short Break' (5 min) and start again. After four complete Pomodoros, take a 'Long Break' (15 min). Use the ⚙ settings icon to customize all three durations to fit your workflow. Completed sessions are tracked with dots below the timer, helping you visualize your deep work streaks.
