Question 1

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

Accepted Answer

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. It helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.

Question 2

How long should a Pomodoro session be?

Accepted Answer

The classic Pomodoro is 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break. After 4 work sessions, take a longer 15-30 minute break. You can customize all durations in this timer.

Question 3

Does this timer work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once loaded, the timer runs entirely in your browser. It uses your local clock so it keeps ticking even if you switch tabs, and works without an internet connection.

Question 4

Will I get notified when a session ends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When a work or break session ends, the timer plays a notification sound and automatically transitions to the next phase (break after work, work after break).
