பயன்படுத்துவது எப்படி
- Set the lengths of Focus, Short break and Long break (25, 5 and 15 minutes by default) and how many focus sessions come before a long break.
- Choose whether breaks and the next focus session should start automatically, and keep Beep when a session ends on. Click Test sound to check the volume.
- Optionally click Allow notifications to get an alert when a session ends while you are in another tab.
- Click Start and work on one task until the beep. The remaining time also shows in the browser tab title. Use Pause, Reset or Skip as needed.
- Completed focus sessions, focus time and breaks are added to Today, which starts fresh each day.
Study and work in focused blocks
The Pomodoro Technique is a simple way to beat procrastination and keep your attention on one task. You work with full focus for a fixed block, traditionally 25 minutes, then take a short break, and after every four blocks you take a longer one. It was devised by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used (“pomodoro” is Italian for tomato). Students preparing for board exams, JEE, NEET, UPSC or SSC use it to make long study days manageable, and it works just as well for office work, coding or household paperwork.
How a cycle works
One full cycle = 4 × 25 + 3 × 5 + 15 = 130 minutes, with 100 minutes of focused work
During a focus session you work on one planned task only: no phone, no WhatsApp, no switching tabs. If a thought or errand pops up, note it on paper and return to it in the break. During breaks, step away from the screen: stretch, drink water, look out of the window.
Example: an evening study plan
| Time | Session |
|---|---|
| 6:00 – 6:25 PM | Focus 1: Physics numericals |
| 6:25 – 6:30 PM | Short break |
| 6:30 – 6:55 PM | Focus 2: Physics numericals |
| 6:55 – 7:00 PM | Short break |
| 7:00 – 7:25 PM | Focus 3: Chemistry revision |
| 7:25 – 7:30 PM | Short break |
| 7:30 – 7:55 PM | Focus 4: Chemistry questions |
| 7:55 – 8:10 PM | Long break (dinner prep, a walk) |
Four sessions give 100 minutes of real study in just over two hours. That is usually more than a distracted three-hour sitting.
Choosing your lengths
- 25 / 5 / 15 is the classic setting and a good start.
- For deep work such as long maths problems or writing, many people prefer 45–50 minutes of focus with a 10-minute break.
- If you find it hard to concentrate, start with 15 minutes and increase slowly.
- Keep the long break between 15 and 30 minutes so you come back fresh but don't lose momentum.
How this timer keeps time
When you press Start, the timer notes the exact time the session should end and always shows “end time minus now”. Browsers slow down timers in background tabs to save battery, but because the countdown is worked out from the clock rather than by counting ticks, it is still correct when you come back. The remaining time also appears in the tab title, the end of each session plays a short beep made in the browser (no audio files), and if you allow notifications you'll get an alert even while working in another tab.
On phones, the browser may pause the page completely when the screen is locked or you switch apps, so the beep can be delayed until you return; the time shown will still be right. Keep the screen on, or use the notification on a laptop, for exact alerts.
Today's stats
Each completed focus session and break is counted under Today, along with total focus time. These numbers are stored only in your browser on this device and reset automatically the next day, or whenever you click Reset. Sessions you skip or reset are not counted.
