Questions
Does it need an account or send anything?
No. It runs in this page with your device's clock. Nothing is stored on a server.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo: work on one task for a fixed block (traditionally 25 minutes), take a short break, and take a longer break after four blocks.
Should I use 25 minutes or longer?
25 minutes is the classic length and suits tasks that are hard to start. Many people use 50 / 10 for deep work. Try a few days with each and keep what you finish more with.
Does it keep running in the background?
Yes, while the tab is open. It counts from the system clock, so it stays accurate even when the browser slows background tabs.
