Questions and answers
What is the Pomodoro technique?
A method by Francesco Cirillo from the late 1980s: work 25 minutes, rest 5, and take a longer break after four rounds. “Pomodoro” is Italian for tomato, after his tomato-shaped kitchen timer.
Why 25 minutes?
Short enough to start without dread and long enough to get into a task. Many people move to 50/10 once focus gets easier.
Does it keep running in another tab?
Yes. The time is based on the clock, the tab title shows the countdown and the sound plays at the end.
Can I get a notification?
