Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro technique?
You work with full focus for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four of these “pomodoros”, you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. Short, timed blocks make it easier to start, keep focus and avoid burning out.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer is based on the clock, not on counting seconds, so it stays exact in the background. Turn on notifications to get an alert when a session ends, even while you're in another app.
Can I change the times?
Yes. Set any length for focus sessions, short and long breaks, and how many sessions come before a long break. Popular choices are 25/5, 50/10 and 90/20 for deep work.
