Plan Your First Pomodoro

Choose a task with a clear next step: outline the introduction to an essay, answer five practice questions or review one small code change. Add it to Tasks and select it as your session target before choosing Start Focus.

This page starts with 25 minutes for focus, 5 minutes for short breaks and 15 minutes for a long break. Review your round and auto-start settings before beginning. Pause or reset the timer when your plan changes.

The Pomodoro Technique developed by Francesco Cirillo includes planning and reflection as well as timing. Our technique guide explains the method in more detail.

Review the Task, Then Choose Your Next Block

At the end of a session, note what you completed and what remains. A session count records time spent; check the work itself before marking the task done. Use local focus history to review your sessions over time.

For the interval configuration alone, open the 25/5 preset. For a single countdown, choose the 25-minute timer. If your task needs a longer block, compare the 50/10 schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pomodoro timer?

A Pomodoro timer organizes work into planned intervals, traditionally 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break. A longer break follows a set of sessions. You can change the durations and rounds in Preferences.

How is this different from the 25/5 preset?

Both start with the same interval settings. This page explains planning and reviewing a Pomodoro session; the 25/5 page focuses on using that exact work-and-break preset.

How many Pomodoros should I plan?

Start with a task and the time available to you. Try one block, review your progress and decide whether to continue. There is no universal daily session target.
