Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the Pomodoro technique?
  The Pomodoro technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo that uses timed intervals of work (typically 25 minutes) followed by short breaks (typically 5 minutes). After several cycles, a longer break is taken.
• Why does this timer help with productivity?
  The structured intervals help combat procrastination, maintain mental freshness, and create a sense of urgency that boosts focus. Regular breaks prevent mental fatigue and sustain performance over longer periods.
• Can I adjust the timer settings?
  Yes! While we provide research-based defaults, you can customize all timing parameters to match your personal work rhythm and attention span.
• Does this work for team settings?
  Absolutely. Many teams use synchronized focus sessions to create collective work periods followed by coordinated break times, reducing interruptions during focus periods.
