Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused intervals (typically 25 minutes), called “pomodoros,” followed by short breaks. After completing four pomodoros, you take a longer break. This cycle helps maintain concentration and prevents burnout.
- Can I change the timer durations?
- Yes. Click the “Customize Durations” section to adjust the work period, short break, long break, and the number of work sessions before a long break. Changes take effect immediately and reset the current timer.
- Why does the timer ask for notification permission?
- Notifications alert you when a work session or break ends, even if you’re in another tab or window. This is optional — the timer still works without notification permission. You can change your decision anytime in your browser settings.
- Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
- Yes. The timer runs in your browser using JavaScript intervals and continues counting down even when the tab is in the background. Some browsers may slightly throttle intervals for inactive tabs, but the timer remains accurate within a few seconds.
