Pomodoro Focus Timer

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The **Pomodoro Technique** is a time management philosophy developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a timer to break down focus work sessions into 25-minute intervals, separated by 5-minute break milestones. These intervals are called *pomodoros*, the Italian word for tomato, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Cirillo originally used.
