Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method where you work for 25 minutes (one "Pomodoro"), then take a 5-minute break. After 4 Pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break. This helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.
- Can I customize the timer durations?
- Yes! You can adjust both work and break durations in the settings. Changes apply to your next session. Common variations include 50/10, 45/15, or 15/5 minute intervals.
- Will I get notified when time is up?
- Yes, if you enable notifications and grant permission, you'll receive a browser notification when each session ends. Make sure your browser allows notifications from this site.
- Does the timer continue if I close the tab?
- No, the timer only runs while the tab is open. If you need background timers, consider keeping this tab pinned or using a dedicated Pomodoro app.
- Why is it called "Pomodoro"?
- Pomodoro means "tomato" in Italian. The technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, and he used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer, hence the name.
