What is the classic Pomodoro rhythm?

Traditionally 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute short break, with a longer 15–30 minute break after every four cycles — you can mirror or customise that here.

Can I change work and break lengths?

Yes. Many knowledge workers prefer 50/10 or 90/20 blocks; adjust timers to match your energy and meeting calendar.

Do audio alerts work if the tab is in the background?

Browsers may throttle timers — keep the tab audible or enable tab-title updates so you notice phase changes.

Will my session survive a refresh?

Unless the tool implements local persistence, reloading resets the cycle — note where you left off before navigating away.

Is Pomodoro good for deep work?

It forces breaks that reduce burnout, but roles with frequent interrupts may need shorter work slices or async notification discipline.

How do I handle meetings mid-cycle?

Pause or reset when calls overrun so breaks do not stack unfairly against focus time.

Can I track completed pomodoros?

Use a notebook or task app alongside the timer if the UI does not log history.

Is data sent to a server?

Timing runs locally in your browser; nothing uploads unless a separate analytics feature is enabled.
