What is the Pomodoro technique?

The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that breaks work into focused 25-minute sessions ("pomodoros") separated by short 5-minute breaks. After 4 pomodoros, you take a longer 15-minute break.

Can I customise the timer durations?

Yes — click the settings icon to adjust the work session length, short break length, long break length, and the number of sessions before a long break.

Is there an audio alert?

Yes — a short beep sounds when each phase completes. The alert uses the Web Audio API and runs entirely in your browser with no external audio files.

What do the different phases mean?

Work (red): focused work session. Short break (green): brief rest. Long break (blue): extended rest after completing a full set of pomodoros. The current phase is shown prominently.

Does the timer keep running in the background?

Yes — the timer uses clock-difference tracking, so switching tabs or minimising the browser does not affect accuracy. You will hear the alert when you return.

Why Use This Tool?

The Pomodoro technique is one of the most scientifically supported time management methods. Breaking work into timed intervals with regular breaks improves focus and reduces mental fatigue. This timer handles the cycle automatically with no manual tracking.
