9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QWhat is the Pomodoro Technique?
A time-management method that breaks work into focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks, with a longer break after four rounds — helping you stay focused and avoid burnout.
QCan I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes. Open Settings to set your own focus length, short break, long break, and how many rounds to run before the long break.
QWill the timer keep accurate time in a background tab?
Yes. It tracks a target end time rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even if the browser throttles background tabs.
