When does the long break start?

After the configured number of completed focus sessions. The default is every four focus sessions; skipping a focus phase also advances the completed-session count.

Are timer settings remembered?

Yes. Focus, break, interval, and sound settings are saved in this browser. The current phase, remaining time, and completed count are not restored after a reload.

Will the timer stay accurate in a background tab?

It calculates remaining time from an absolute deadline rather than only counting interval ticks, which reduces drift when the browser throttles a background tab.

Why might the completion sound be silent?

The sound uses the Web Audio API. Browser autoplay policy, a muted device, or a disabled sound setting can prevent it from being heard.

About the Pomodoro Technique

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks, with a longer break after every few rounds. It reduces burnout and makes big tasks feel manageable. This timer tracks completed rounds and switches phases automatically; your settings are saved locally.
