What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into 25-minute focused intervals (called pomodoros), separated by short 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, you take a longer 15-minute break.

Why is the Pomodoro Technique effective for remote workers?

Remote workers often struggle with distractions at home. The Pomodoro Technique provides structure, creates urgency with time-boxed sessions, and ensures regular breaks to prevent burnout.

Can I customize the timer durations?

Yes. You can adjust the work session, short break, and long break durations using the configuration inputs below the timer. Changes take effect on the next session.

How do browser notifications work?

When a session ends, the timer sends a browser notification and plays an audio beep to alert you. You will be prompted to allow notifications the first time you start the timer.

How many pomodoros should I do per day?

Most productivity experts recommend 8 to 12 pomodoros per day for knowledge workers. This translates to roughly 4 to 6 hours of deep focused work, which is realistic and sustainable.
