Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo: work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, repeat 4 times, then take a longer 15–30 minute break.

Can I change the focus and break durations?

Yes. Open settings to customise focus duration, short break, long break, and the number of cycles per round. Your settings are saved automatically.

Is there a sound when the timer ends?

Yes, a chime plays at the end of each focus session and break. You can disable sounds in settings.

Can I use this on OBS for a focus stream?

Yes. Enable transparent background and paste the URL as an OBS browser source. The Pomodoro timer displays the current mode (focus/break) as an overlay on your stream.
