Pomodoro Focus Timer: 25 minutes on, 5 off, with what I'm working on.?
Focus blocks with a job attached to each one, and an honest account of the famous 25 minutes, which Cirillo took from a tomato-shaped kitchen timer and no trial has ever tested. Next to it, the 2022 meta-analysis of what breaks really do: they lift vigour and cut fatigue, and do not significantly improve performance.
WHAT YOU GET
- Every interval editable, with presets from 25/5 up to 90/20 for demanding work
- A task list, so a round is counted against a job rather than into a void
- Wall-clock timing with pause and resume: it never drifts
- Long breaks dropped in automatically, drawn as pips you can see coming
- Chimes generated as tones; no audio files, no notifications, works offline
HOW IT WORKS
1. Set the two numbers: Or take a preset. The classic is there, clearly labelled as one man's choice.
2. Name what the round is for: The one part of the technique that needs no evidence.
3. Work: It rings, the screen goes green, and the break starts itself if you want it to.
