Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused 25-minute sessions separated by short 5-minute breaks. After four sessions you take a longer 15-minute break. It helps maintain concentration and avoid burnout.

Why is a Pomodoro 25 minutes?

Twenty-five minutes is long enough to make real progress but short enough to stay fully focused without fatigue. TimerHub follows the traditional 25-minute work, 5-minute short break, and 15-minute long break rhythm.

How many pomodoros should I do per day?

Most people do 8 to 12 pomodoros across a workday, taking a longer break after every four. Start with what feels sustainable and build up as focus improves.

Does the Pomodoro timer work in the background?

Yes. The timer keeps counting if you switch tabs, and it plays an alarm plus an optional notification when each work or break period ends.

Can I name a task or start the next Pomodoro automatically?

Yes. Add an optional task label, turn on Auto-cycle to begin each next work or break phase, or use Focus mode to hide nonessential content. Daily and total completed-session counts are stored locally.
