Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It breaks work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes long, separated by short 5-minute breaks. After completing four focus sessions (called "pomodoros"), you take a longer 15-30 minute break. This structured approach combats mental fatigue and maintains high concentration throughout the day. Our free online Pomodoro timer runs entirely in your browser with customizable durations, audio notifications, and session tracking. No sign-up or installation required.
