What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into 25-minute intervals, separated by 5-minute short breaks. After 4 pomodoros, you take a 15-minute long break.

Does Pomodorito work offline?

Yes! Pomodorito is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works completely offline after your first visit. You can install it on your device and use it without an internet connection.

Can I customize the timer durations?

Yes, you can fully customize the focus time (default 25 min), short break (default 5 min), and long break (default 15 min) durations in the app settings.

Yes, Pomodorito is 100% free and always will be. There are no paid plans, ads, or usage limitations.

Why is 25 minutes the optimal focus time?

Research shows that most people can maintain peak concentration for 20-30 minutes before experiencing natural attention decline. The 25-minute interval optimally balances focus intensity with sustainable productivity.

Can I use Pomodorito for studying?

Absolutely! Pomodorito is perfect for studying. The Pomodoro Technique helps maintain focus, prevents burnout, and improves information retention through regular breaks.
