Questions

Will the timer ring if I switch tabs?

Yes. The time is calculated from the clock, not by counting ticks, so it stays accurate in a background tab and plays a sound when it ends. Keep the tab open and the volume on.

What is the Pomodoro technique?

You work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and after four rounds take a longer 15-minute break. Short, focused sprints make it easier to start and to stay concentrated. You can change all three lengths.

Can I see the time left without opening the tab?

The remaining time is shown in the browser tab title while a timer runs.
