Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro method breaks work into focused stretches separated by real breaks. This timer moves between focus and break by itself, counts finished sessions, and plays a tone at each switch so you can look away from the screen.
How to use it
- Adjust the focus and break lengths, or keep the classic 25 and 5.
- Press start and work until the tone.
- Take the break; after four sessions the long break comes automatically.
Examples
- Classic setting: 25 focus, 5 short, 15 long after four rounds.
- Deep work: 50 and 10, which suits tasks with a long warm-up.
- Difficult days: 15 and 5, because a short session started beats a long one avoided.
Questions people ask
Why not just work straight through?
Because attention fades and quality goes with it. A planned break keeps you from working past the point of usefulness, and the fixed length makes starting easier — committing to one interval is much lighter than committing to an afternoon.
What if I am interrupted?
Pause, deal with it, and resume. If the interruption is long, reset and start a fresh interval. The count is there to show your day honestly, not to be protected at all costs.
