COMMON QUESTIONS
What is a pomodoro timer?
A timer that splits work into focused blocks, usually 25 minutes, separated by 5-minute breaks. After four blocks you take a longer 15 to 30 minute break.
Is this pomodoro timer free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no account, no ads and no install.
Can I change the lengths?
Yes. Set focus, short break and long break lengths to anything from 1 to 90 minutes. 50/10 is a popular choice for deep work.
What should I do during a study pomodoro?
Give each block one concrete output: 20 flashcards answered, one past-paper question, or one page of notes turned into questions. Rereading alone is a weak use of a block.
