What this one is for
- One subject per interval
- Break away from the desk
- Four rounds, then a long break
Counting completed intervals turns revision from a vague evening of effort into a number. That number is usually smaller than students expect, and knowing it is the useful part. It opens at 25:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- One subject per interval, notes closed during the break.
- Tally the intervals; revision becomes measurable instead of a vague effort.
- Breaks away from the desk, not scrolling at it.
Getting the most from the pomodoro study timer
- Protect the intervalStatus set to busy, notifications off. An interrupted pomodoro is voided rather than paused.
- Work until it sounds, not until it is doneThe interval is the unit. Finishing early means setting up the next one, not stretching this one.
- Take the break away from the screenStanding up is most of the benefit. Switching tabs is not a break.

Questions people ask
How should students use the pomodoro technique?
One subject per interval, notes closed during breaks, and a tally of completed intervals. The tally is what makes revision measurable instead of a vague evening of effort.
What counts as a completed interval?
An unbroken one. Cirillo's rule is that a pomodoro is indivisible: if it breaks, void it and start fresh rather than resuming.
Is the pomodoro study timer free?
Yes. No account, no install, no cap on how many intervals you run.
