Sound & display Make it work for you
Press Test sound to check your volume before starting.
Keep this page open. Sound may be delayed or unavailable if your device locks or your browser suspends the page.
A cycle with room to breathe.
Start with 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute short break. After four completed focus sessions, take a 15-minute long break. Customize the intervals if another rhythm suits you better.
Each phase waits for you to press Start. A skipped focus phase does not count as completed. Reset cycle returns to the first focus session without deleting your saved interval lengths.
If your browser suspends the page, only the phase that actually reached its end is completed. No extra focus sessions are invented during your absence; the next phase waits for you.
A few timely answers.
When does the long break happen?
After the configured number of completed focus sessions: four by default. The completed-session count increases only when a focus countdown reaches zero, never when you skip it.
Can I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes. Open Customize your cycle while the cycle is reset. Choose focus sessions from 1–180 minutes, breaks from 1–60 minutes and 1–12 focus sessions before a long break.
Does the next phase start automatically?
No. At the end of each phase, press the Start button for the next one. This also applies when you come back after the browser was suspended.
Will the alarm work if I close the app?
No. Keep this page open. A locked device, suspended browser or muted device may delay or prevent sound. A home-screen installation is not a background alarm service. Use Test sound to check before relying on it.
Does the countdown continue in another tab?
The timer compares the current time with its saved end time, so delayed screen updates do not simply lose seconds. When you return, it calculates the remaining time again. Your browser may still delay the alarm.
Can I recover a timer after reloading?
On the same page and tab, a reload restores your saved session when browser storage is available. If it already ended, you see the result without an automatic alarm. A fresh visit starts with that page’s default. Separate tabs keep separate active sessions.
What if I change my computer’s clock?
The timer uses your system clock for its end time and reload recovery. Moving the clock forward can finish the timer early; moving it backward can extend it, with the visible remaining time capped at the session duration. It is not a certified timing instrument.
Does full screen work on my phone?
When supported, Full screen expands the timer. Otherwise a browser-window view is used and browser bars may remain visible. Use Exit full screen or Escape to return.
What is saved on my device?
Active sessions stay in this tab’s session storage. Sound, volume, theme and Pomodoro settings are saved locally when storage is available. Offline website files are cached in your browser. There are no accounts or analytics scripts.
