100 total hoursType what you plan to work on in the task field — "Write chapter 3", "Fix bug #42", "Study calculus". Naming your task builds intention and tracks which sessions went to which work.
Click Start. The timer counts down 25 minutes. During this time: close all unnecessary tabs, silence your phone, and focus only on the stated task. No multitasking.
When the timer rings, stop working immediately — even mid-sentence. Take a 5-minute short break: stand, stretch, get water. Do not skip breaks — they are part of the technique.
After 4 Pomodoros, take a 15–30 minute long break. Track your session count, streaks, and total focus hours. Unlock achievements as your consistency grows.
| Setting | Default | Range | Who Should Change It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work Session Length | 25 minutes | 10–90 min | Creative work may need 50–90 min; ADHD users often prefer 10–15 min |
| Short Break Length | 5 minutes | 3–15 min | Increase to 8–10 min for longer work sessions |
| Long Break Length | 15 minutes | 10–45 min | Increase to 30 min for physically or mentally intensive work |
| Long Break Interval | Every 4 Pomodoros | 2–8 | Reduce to 3 for harder sessions; increase to 6 for lighter tasks |
| Daily Goal | 8 Pomodoros | 1–20 | Start with 4 and gradually increase as the habit builds |
| Alert Sound | Bell | Bell/Chime/Digital/Custom | Use a gentle sound to avoid startling yourself out of flow |
| Auto-Start Breaks | Off | On/Off | Turn on if you tend to forget to start your break timer |
| Auto-Start Next Session | Off | On/Off | Turn on for maximum momentum during deep work days |
Lifetime count of completed sessions. Builds over time into a powerful motivator — watching your number grow creates powerful momentum.
Total hours of deep work accumulated. Broken into today, this week, this month, and all time. Track progress toward 100-hour milestones.
Days in a row you've completed at least one Pomodoro. Missing a day resets the streak — a powerful daily accountability system.
A bar chart showing your Pomodoro count each day over the past 30 days. Spot patterns — your most productive days, times, and trends.
Percentage of days you hit your daily Pomodoro goal. Motivates consistency rather than just raw session counts.
See all achievements, which ones you've unlocked, and how close you are to unlocking the next batch.
Study in focused blocks, avoid cramming, and retain more through spaced sessions with real breaks.
Tackle large coding tasks in manageable 25-minute sprints without burnout.
Hit word count goals session by session without feeling overwhelmed by the full project.
Alternate creative work sessions with breaks to keep visual decision-making fresh.
Structure work-from-home days to maintain productivity without a physical office schedule.
Shorter custom sessions (10–15 min) make large tasks manageable with built-in movement breaks.
Before starting, write the specific task: "Write intro paragraph" not just "writing". Specificity increases focus and gives your session log real meaning when reviewing.
The #1 Pomodoro killer is phone notifications. Put it face-down in a different room. 25 minutes of true uninterrupted focus is more productive than 2 hours of distracted work.
Short breaks should be physical — stand, stretch, walk to the window. Scrolling social media during a break keeps your brain in the same mode and doesn't provide real cognitive rest.
Review your daily stats after 2 weeks. Most people discover they do their best deep work at a specific time — mornings, late nights, or after lunch. Schedule your hardest Pomodoros then.
