// The method
How the Pomodoro Technique works
The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused 25-minute sessions — called pomodoros — each followed by a short break. After four sessions, you take a longer break to properly recharge.
The short sprints make starting easy and keep procrastination at bay, while the breaks protect you from burning out. It's simple, proven, and works with nothing but a timer.

// FAQ
Common questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It's a time-management method that splits work into 25-minute focus sessions separated by short breaks. Each session is a 'pomodoro'; after four you take a longer break.
Why 25 minutes?
It's long enough to make real progress but short enough to stay fully focused and easy to start. You can change the length above to whatever fits your rhythm.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer is based on real elapsed time, so it stays accurate even if the tab is in the background or your screen sleeps.
Is anything saved or tracked?
Only your settings, kept locally in your browser so the timer remembers them next time. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is tracked.
