Frequently asked questions
What is a Pomodoro timer?
A Pomodoro timer alternates focused work blocks with short breaks. The classic pattern is 25 minutes of work followed by 5 minutes of rest.
Is 25/5 always the best Pomodoro length?
25/5 is a strong default for starting. For harder deep work, many people switch to 50/10 once they know they can stay focused longer.
Does this Pomodoro timer save my sessions?
Completed sessions are saved locally in your browser so you can view recent history or export a CSV without creating an account.
Pomodoro timer vs focus timer: which should I use?
Use the Pomodoro timer when starting is the hard part or when you want frequent breaks. Use the focus timer for longer deep-work blocks after the task is already moving.
