Pomodoro Timer

What is the Pomodoro Method?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. Named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a student, this method is built on a simple yet powerful idea: break your work into focused intervals—called "pomodoros"—typically 25 minutes long, followed by short 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

How does the Pomodoro Timer work?

The timer guides the user through structured cycles:

• 25 minutes of focused work
• 5-minute short break
• After 4 pomodoros, take a 15 to 30-minute long break

This rhythm helps maintain consistent energy without mental fatigue or distractions.
