How to use the pomodoro timer
Name the task you want to work on, choose your focus and break lengths, and set a session goal. A longer break replaces each scheduled short break after your chosen number of focus sessions.
The familiar starting point is 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break. You can change both. Turn off automatic transitions if you prefer to start each break or focus block yourself. The preview includes a final break so you can see the complete commitment before starting.
Can I use a different focus length, such as 50/10?
Yes. Set focus to 50 minutes and short break to 10 minutes, or choose another rhythm. The focus goal counts only work sessions; breaks remain separate in the session plan.
What happens if I refresh or switch tabs?
Running timers are recovered from saved timestamps after a refresh. They catch up to the elapsed schedule without replaying a stream of missed sounds. In manual-transition mode, the next step waits for you. Keep the page open and test your sound: background throttling, sleeping devices, or closing the browser can delay or prevent an alert. Changing the device clock can affect recovery after a reload.
Do I need an account?
No. Settings and the current session stay in this browser. They are not synced to an account. Clearing TimeCubby data removes them. Sounds are generated locally, with no audio files downloaded or uploaded.
