How to use the focus timer

  1. Choose the music for your focus sessions (lo-fi, jazz, piano…) and, if you like, a background sound such as rain or brown noise.
  2. Press Start and work on one task until the chime rings.
  3. Take the short break: stand up, stretch, drink some water. The music pauses so your brain can rest.
  4. After four focus sessions, enjoy a longer break of 15 minutes.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You split your work into short, focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. Each interval is called a "pomodoro", after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo used as a student.

Working against a timer makes it easier to start, keeps distractions away and stops long tasks from feeling endless. The regular breaks help you stay fresh for hours instead of burning out after the first one.

Music without lyrics, like lo-fi beats, soft jazz or piano, is a popular companion for focus sessions: it covers background noise and creates a steady rhythm without pulling your attention to words. All the music played here is original music by Ricky Box Music.
