FAQ
- What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused 25-minute intervals called "pomodoros," each followed by a 5-minute break. After completing four pomodoros, you take a longer 15-minute break. The structured rhythm helps you maintain deep focus while preventing mental fatigue.
- Can I change the timer durations?
- Yes. Click "Customize Durations" to set your own focus time (1–120 min), short break (1–30 min), and long break (1–60 min). Your settings are saved in your browser so they persist between visits.
- Will I hear a sound when the timer ends?
- Yes. The timer plays a pleasant three-tone chime when each session ends using the Web Audio API — no external files needed. Make sure your browser tab is not muted.
- Does the timer work if I switch tabs?
- Yes. The timer continues running in the background. The browser tab title updates with the remaining time so you can see your progress at a glance without switching back.
- What happens after four focus sessions?
- After completing four focus sessions, the timer automatically suggests a longer break (15 minutes by default). This gives your brain a more substantial rest before starting the next cycle.
