About Pomodoro Timer

Our Pomodoro Timer helps you boost productivity using the proven Pomodoro Technique. Break your work into focused intervals separated by short breaks to maintain high concentration and prevent burnout.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a 'pomodoro', from the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student.

Features

• Three modes: Work, Short Break, Long Break

How to Use

1. Set your work duration (default: 25 minutes)
2. Click 'Start' and focus on your task
3. When the timer ends, take a short break (5 minutes)
4. After 4 pomodoros, take a long break (15-30 minutes)
5. Customize settings to match your work style
