Pomodoro Timer
Boost productivity with customizable Pomodoro work and break intervals.
What the Pomodoro method is for
The technique alternates focused work windows with short breaks, which can reduce burnout and make large tasks startable. It is not a magic productivity hack for everyone, but it is a low-cost experiment if you have trouble with sustained focus or procrastination on starting.

How to adapt it without rigidity
Try the classic 25/5 split, then adjust the focus length to match the kind of work—deep code review might need longer blocks, while email triage might need shorter ones. The timer is a boundary tool; if you are in flow and harming nothing, you can sometimes extend a block deliberately. The goal is better attention management, not perfect adherence to a clock.
A gentle limitation
If you have attention or health issues that a timer cannot address, the tool is a minor aid, not a replacement for professional support.
