What is the Pomodoro Technique?

What is the Pomodoro Technique? The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused sessions, traditionally 25 minutes each, separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after every four sessions.

How to use the pomodoro timer

  1. Type what you are working on (optional).
  2. Press Start to begin a focus session.
  3. When it ends, a chime plays and the break starts, automatically unless you turn Auto-start off.
  4. Use Skip to move to the next session early.

Getting more from your Pomodoros

Protect the focus session: if something unrelated comes to mind, write it down and return to your task. Use breaks for a real rest away from the screen, such as standing, stretching or getting a drink, rather than switching to email.

The standard 25/5 rhythm is a starting point. Many people prefer 50/10 for deep work, while shorter sessions of 15 minutes can help when a task feels hard to begin.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change the Pomodoro length?

Yes. Open Settings to set focus, short break and long break durations, the number of sessions, and how often the long break occurs. Your settings are saved in your browser.

Does it work in the background?

Yes. Phase changes are calculated from the clock, so the timer stays accurate in a background tab. Turn on notifications to be alerted when a session ends while you are in another window.
