About Pomodoro timer

The Pomodoro technique splits work into 25 minute focus sessions separated by 5 minute breaks, with a longer break after four rounds. The timer switches between them and plays a sound. It suits studying, writing and coding, where short sprints beat hours of drifting attention.

How to use Pomodoro timer

  1. Press start to begin a 25-minute focus session.
  2. Work on one task until the sound plays.
  3. Take the short or long break the timer moves to, then start the next session.

Frequently asked questions

What do I do during the short break?

Step away from the screen: stretch, drink water or look out of the window. Avoid checking messages, which pulls you back into work mode.

How many pomodoros before a long break?

The classic method uses a long break after four focus sessions. The timer follows this cycle, giving short breaks in between, so you do not have to count them yourself.

What if I get interrupted during a session?

Write the interruption down to deal with later and return to the task. If the break was long, restarting the session is better than stretching a half-finished one.
