How to use the 25 minute Pomodoro timer

Pick one task and press Start (or Space).
Work until the chime — the timer switches to a 5-minute break on its own.
After four focus rounds you get a 15-minute long break. The round counter shows where you are.

Change any length or turn off auto-start under Settings. Want tasks and session notes too? Use the main focus timer.

Why 25 minutes works

The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, uses short, fixed sprints so a task feels finite. Twenty-five minutes is long enough to get into a task and short enough that you can protect it from interruptions. If a distraction pops up, jot it down and deal with it in the break.

Tip: four rounds is about two hours of real work — a good unit for planning your day.

Frequently asked questions

How long is a Pomodoro?

A classic Pomodoro is 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break. After four Pomodoros you take a longer break of 15–30 minutes.

Does the timer keep running in a background tab?

Yes. It counts against the clock rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate when you switch tabs, and the tab title shows the time left.

What should I do if I get interrupted?

Note the interruption and get back to the task. If you must stop, pause or reset the round — a Pomodoro is meant to be uninterrupted focus.
