Can I customize the Pomodoro timer intervals?

Yes. You can set custom durations for work sessions (default 25 min), short breaks (default 5 min), and long breaks (default 15 min). You can also change how many pomodoros trigger a long break (default 4).

Does the timer work if I switch to another tab?

Yes. The timer continues running in the background and plays an audio alert when the interval ends. You will not miss a cue even if you are working in a different browser tab.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method where you work in focused 25-minute intervals (pomodoros) separated by short 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, you take a longer 15 to 30 minute break. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s.

Do I need to create an account to use the timer?

No. The timer works immediately with no signup. Your settings and session count are stored locally in your browser for convenience.

Can I use the Pomodoro timer on my phone?

Yes. The timer is fully responsive and works on smartphones, tablets, and desktops. The large start and stop buttons make it easy to control on touch screens.
