Tips & tricks
The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused 25-minute intervals separated by short breaks. The constraint is the point: a ticking session makes it easier to start, and the break is permission to stop. Most people find four sessions before a long break a natural rhythm.
Customise the session, short-break and long-break lengths in Settings — some people prefer 50/10, others 25/5. Your preferences and task list are stored locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and everything is waiting for you when you return.
Use the task list as a session plan rather than a giant to-do list. Pick one or two things, work them in focus blocks, and let the alarm and automatic breaks handle the timekeeping so you can keep your attention on the work.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It is a time-management method that splits work into 25-minute focus sessions called 'pomodoros', each followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after every four sessions. It makes large tasks feel approachable and helps prevent burnout.
Can I change the 25 and 5 minute lengths?
Yes. Open Settings to set your own focus, short-break and long-break durations. The timer remembers your choices in your browser.
Does it switch to breaks automatically?
Yes. When a focus session ends the timer plays an alarm and moves to a break on its own; when the break ends it returns to focus. The cycle counter shows your progress toward the long break.
Is my task list saved?
Your tasks and completed-session count are stored in your browser's local storage. They stay on your device, are never uploaded, and are there when you return — until you clear them.
What happens after four pomodoros?
You get a longer break — 15 minutes by default — to properly rest before the next set of focus sessions. The counter then resets for the next cycle.
Will the alarm sound if I'm on another tab?
Yes. The timer is background-safe, so the transition alarm plays and an optional notification appears even if you have switched away to do your work.
Is this Pomodoro timer free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. It runs entirely in your browser.
