Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work down into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros, the Italian word for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo originally used.
How do I use this Pomodoro Timer?
It's simple: enter the number of focus cycles you want to complete (each cycle consists of a 25-minute work session and a 5-minute break), choose an alarm sound if desired, and click the Start button. The timer will notify you with a popup message and a sound cue when each work and break interval ends.
Can I customize the alarm sound?
Yes. By clicking the tools icon next to the start button, you can access additional settings where you can select different audio alerts (such as a Soft Click or Sonar Pings) or choose "No Alarm" if you prefer to work in complete silence.
Does the timer keep running if I switch browser tabs?
Yes, the timer continues to count down even if you switch to another browser tab. However, because modern browsers heavily optimize background tabs to save battery and CPU power, we recommend keeping this tab open in a visible window or checking back regularly to ensure visual updates remain perfectly synchronized.
