What is the Pomodoro technique?

It is a time-management method that breaks work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, each followed by a short break, with a longer break after every few rounds. Working against a clock makes a large task feel manageable and the regular breaks help you keep concentration up over a long session.

Will the alert sound if I switch tabs?

A tone plays in the browser when each session ends, so keep the tab open while you study. Browsers can slow timers in background tabs to save power, so for the most reliable countdown leave this tab visible rather than minimised behind others.

Are my timer settings remembered?

Yes. Your focus length, break lengths and round count are saved in your browser on this device, so the timer is set up the way you like it next time. Nothing is sent anywhere; the settings live locally, like the timer itself.

Is anything I type sent to a server?

No. Everything runs inside your browser, so the work you do here stays on your own device and nothing is uploaded. There is no sign-up and no limit on how many times you use it, and once the page has loaded it keeps working with no connection.

3
Repeat and track

Keep going through focus-and-break rounds, with a running count of how many focus sessions you have done.

When it comes in handy

Beating procrastination

Commit to a single focused block instead of an open-ended study session that never quite starts.

Long revision days

Build in regular breaks so you stay sharp across hours of study rather than burning out.

Group study

Run the same timer on a shared screen so everyone focuses and breaks together.
