Frequently asked questions

What is the Pomodoro technique?+

A time-management method: work in focused sprints (traditionally 25 minutes), separated by short breaks of about 5 minutes, with a longer break after every four sprints.

Can I change the times?+

Yes. Set any focus, short-break and long-break length and how many focus sessions come before a long break. Your settings are remembered on your device.

Does it keep running in another tab?+

Yes. The timer uses the clock, so it stays accurate in the background, and the remaining time is shown in the tab title. Allow notifications to get an alert when a session ends.

Does it save my data online?+

No. Settings and today's session count are stored only in your browser.

Is the Pomodoro timer free?+

Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no watermark and no usage limits.

How the Pomodoro technique works

  1. Pick one task.
  2. Work with full focus until the timer rings (25 minutes by default).
  3. Take a 5-minute break: stand up, stretch, drink water.
  4. After four focus sessions, take a longer 15 to 30 minute break.

The fixed, short time boxes make it easier to start and harder to get distracted. Read our full guide to the Pomodoro technique.

Choosing your times

25/5 suits most study and admin work. Try 50/10 for deep work such as writing or coding, and shorter sprints if you are easily distracted. Adjust until the breaks feel like real rest, not just a pause.

Tips

  • Silence your phone and close unrelated tabs before you start.
  • Write distracting thoughts on a notepad and handle them in the break.
  • Track completed sessions to see your real focus time.
  • Do not skip breaks: they keep your attention fresh.
