FAQ

Which timer should I use for studying?

A 25 minute timer followed by a 5 minute break is the classic Pomodoro rhythm. For longer blocks try the 45 or 50 minute timers.

Do these timers work in the background?

Yes. They follow the clock and show the remaining time in the tab title, but you must keep the page open for the alarm to ring.
