Pomodoro

A focus timer with short and long breaks. Add one from the tile picker as Pomodoro; there’s nothing to set up.

How it works

The timer cycles through Focus time, Short break and Long break — 25, 5 and 15 minutes by default. Every fourth completed focus session is followed by a long break; the dots under the timer count your progress.

  • The main button reads Start focus, Start break, Pause or Resume.
  • Skip moves to the next phase. Skipped focus sessions don’t count toward a long break.
  • Reset restarts the current phase.

The next phase doesn’t start on its own — start each session when you’re ready. The timer makes no sound.

Settings

  • Timer settings — set the focus, short break and long break lengths in whole minutes from 1 to 120, then Apply & reset timer. Pause the timer first.
  • Session notifications — Off (the default), Workspace, Global bell or Both. When a session ends you get a “Pomodoro: Focus complete” or “Pomodoro: Break complete” notification.

The timer and its settings reset when the workspace reloads.
