Pomodoro Timer

About the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique, developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, breaks work into 25-minute focused intervals (called "pomodoros") separated by short 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, take a longer 15–30 minute break. The fixed intervals help combat distraction and mental fatigue, making it easier to start tasks and sustain focus.

Customize the work and break durations above to match your preferred rhythm — many people find 50/10 (50-minute work, 10-minute break) effective for deep technical work.
