The Pomodoro Technique splits work into focused sessions separated by short breaks. This timer moves through focus and break sessions for you and plays a sound at each change.
How to use
- Press Start to begin a 25 minute focus session.
- When the sound plays, take a 5 minute break. After four focus sessions you get a longer break.
- Change the session lengths below the timer if 25 and 5 minutes do not suit you.
