Tips
- Keep this tab open. Browsers slow down timers in background tabs, so this one checks the real clock rather than counting ticks — it stays accurate when you switch tabs.
- Some phones won’t play sound until you have tapped the page once; pressing Start counts.
- For focus sessions, the 25-minute preset is the classic Pomodoro length, followed by a 5-minute break.
