The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused intervals — traditionally 25 minutes — followed by a short break, on the idea that sustained focus in short bursts beats trying to concentrate for hours without a pause. This timer automates that cycle: a 25-minute focus session followed automatically by a 5-minute break.
It's a simple way to structure work sessions, especially for tasks that benefit from sustained, undistracted attention followed by a deliberate pause to reset.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customize the interval lengths?
This version uses the classic 25-minute focus and 5-minute break split; for different intervals you'd need a more customizable timer tool.
What happens after the break ends?
The timer automatically switches back to a new focus session, so you can keep the cycle going through multiple rounds.
