Pomodoro Timer
NewFocus timer with 25-minute work sessions, short breaks, and long breaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the timer survive a page refresh?
Yes. It stores your work/break lengths, current mode, completed session count, and remaining seconds in localStorage. Reloading restores that state, but it comes back paused rather than auto-starting.
If I change the work or break length while a session is running, does the countdown update immediately?
No. Saving preferences while the timer is running updates the saved settings, but the current countdown keeps its existing remaining time. The new duration takes effect after you reset or when the next mode starts.
Does it automatically switch from work to short break and long break?
Yes. Each finished work session increments the completed counter, and every nth session—based on 'Sessions / long break'—switches to a long break instead of a short one. When a period hits zero, the tool beeps and rolls straight into the next mode.
Can I set longer sessions than the classic 25/5 cycle?
Yes. The inputs allow work sessions from 1 to 180 minutes, short breaks from 1 to 60, long breaks from 1 to 90, and 2 to 12 sessions before a long break. The defaults are 25, 5, 15, and 4.
Does it show notifications when time is up?
It plays a short Web Audio beep if your browser supports AudioContext, and it updates the document title with the remaining time. It does not request desktop notification permission or create OS-level alerts.
