What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method that breaks work into focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. After 4 focus sessions, you take a longer break. The cycle helps maintain concentration and prevent mental fatigue.

Can I customize the timer durations?

Yes - choose the Custom preset in Settings to set your own focus, short break, and long break durations (1–180 minutes each). Built-in presets: Classic (25/5/15 min), Extended Focus (50/10/20 min), and Deep Work (90/15/30 min).

Does the timer continue running if I switch tabs?

Yes - the JavaScript interval keeps running in the background. The browser tab title updates to show the remaining time so you can check progress without switching back.

Is my session data saved?

A full-featured Pomodoro timer for students, developers, and anyone who wants to stay focused. Choose from three built-in presets - Classic Pomodoro (25 min focus / 5 min short break / 15 min long break), Extended Focus (50/10/20 min), and Deep Work (90/15/30 min) - or enter your own custom durations. The circular progress ring shows how much time remains in the current session. Session mode tabs let you switch between Focus, Short Break, and Long Break at any time. Start the timer by pressing the large play button - use the same button to pause and resume without losing your place. Use the skip button to move to the next phase without waiting. The session dot tracker shows your progress through the current 4-session cycle before a long break. Enter an optional task name to log what you were working on. Sound alerts use the Web Audio API to play a clean notification chime when each session ends - no external audio files required. Toggle auto-start to advance to the next phase automatically. Today's session history is saved in browser local storage and shows every session with its type, task label, duration, and completion time. Daily stats show total focus sessions, focus minutes, and formatted hours. All data stays on your device - no account or server required.
