Tasks, settings and focus history are stored on your device. Usage analytics are enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings. There is no automatic cloud sync; clearing browser storage can remove local records. Read the privacy details.

The loaded timer and local records can work without a connection. Reloading the website, visiting uncached pages or loading audio and images may require internet access. The website does not guarantee offline reloads.

Choose another tool if you need automatic cross-device sync or app blocking. Compare timer workflows and limitations.

Define a Deliverable Before Starting

Choose work that benefits from keeping the same context open: outline an argument, compare two designs or investigate a bug. Gather the relevant notes and tools first, then select a task as your session target.

The starting schedule is 50 minutes of focus, a 10-minute short break and a 20-minute long break. These are configurable defaults, not a promise that you will enter a flow state or work at a particular rate.

Make the Next Session Easy to Resume

Before a break, record what you tried, what changed and the next step. For a draft, leave a sentence describing the next paragraph; for analysis, note the question that remains unresolved.

Use the coding timer for a debugging example or the 50/10 preset for the interval setup. A shorter 25/5 block is another option when the task is smaller.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this deep work timer?

It starts with 50 minutes of work, a 10-minute short break and a 20-minute long break. Adjust these settings to your task and available time.

Is a 90-minute block better for deep work?

Not necessarily. A longer block is a scheduling choice, not a universal biological optimum. Choose a duration that fits the activity and pause when needed.

How should I track progress?

Link a specific task, review what you produced and leave a note about the next step. Time spent and session counts do not establish the quality of the work.
