Pomodoro Timer Features
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a "pomodoro," named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a university student. This technique helps maintain focus, reduce mental fatigue, and improve productivity.
How to Use the Pomodoro Timer
