Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method where you work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four pomodoros, take a longer 15-30 minute break. This helps maintain focus and productivity.

Can I use the timer with my browser closed?

The timer runs in your current browser tab. If you close the tab or browser, the timer will stop. Keep the tab open to ensure the timer continues running.

Will I get notified when the timer ends?

Yes, the timer provides both visual and audio notifications when it reaches zero. Make sure your browser allows notifications and your device volume is turned up.

Can I set a timer for multiple hours or days?

Yes, you can set custom timers for any duration - from seconds to hours to days. For very long countdowns, use the target date feature to count down to a specific future date and time.

Is the countdown timer accurate?

The timer is accurate to within one second and uses your device's system clock. However, if your computer goes to sleep or the browser tab becomes inactive, there may be slight variations.
