About Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. This helps reduce burnout, improve concentration, and maintain momentum during deep work or study sessions.

How to Use

  1. Set your preferred durations: Work (default 25 min), Short Break (5 min), Long Break (15 min).
  2. Click Start to begin your first work session.
  3. Focus on your task until the timer ends and an alert sounds.
  4. Take the suggested break, then start the next session.
  5. After 4 work sessions, take a longer break.

How It Works

The timer uses JavaScript's setInterval to count down the configured duration. Session history is tracked in localStorage so your completed pomodoro count persists between visits. Notifications alert you when each interval ends.

Example

Writing a report: set 25-min work sessions. During each session, write without checking email or social media. After 4 sessions (2 hours of focused work), take a 15-minute long break before continuing.
