What this one is for
- 25 on, 5 off, repeat
- Longer break after four rounds
- No account, no install
Cirillo's method is less about twenty-five minutes than about one rule: the interval cannot be split. A broken pomodoro does not count, which is what makes the day's tally mean something. It opens at 25:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Twenty-five on, five off, with a longer break after the fourth.
- An interrupted interval is voided rather than paused; that rule is the method.
- The daily count of completed intervals is the number that actually matters.
Getting the most from the pomodoro 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
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s: work in twenty-five minute intervals separated by five minute breaks, with a longer break of fifteen to thirty minutes after every fourth interval.
Is the pomodoro timer free?
Yes. No account, no install, no cap on how many intervals you run.
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.
