Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the standard Pomodoro session 25 minutes?

The 25-minute interval (one "Pomodoro") is designed to be short enough to maintain high focus but long enough to make significant progress. It aligns with the body's natural "ultradian rhythms," preventing mental fatigue while ensuring consistent output.

Will the alarm ring if I switch tabs?

Yes. Pomodoro Desk uses the modern Web Audio API, which allows the alarm sound to play even if you are working in a different browser tab or window. However, please ensure your system volume is on and the browser tab is not muted.

Does Pomodoro Desk work offline?

Absolutely. Once loaded, Pomodoro Desk runs entirely in your browser. You can even install it as an App (PWA) on your desktop or phone to use it without an internet connection.

Is this tool really free?

Yes, Pomodoro Desk is 100% free for remote workers, freelancers, and students. We are supported by unobtrusive advertising on our content pages, keeping the timer experience clean and focused.

What happens if I get distracted during a session?

If the distraction is unavoidable, the strict Pomodoro rule is to void the session and restart the timer. This builds discipline. However, for minor thoughts, jot them down quickly on a notepad and return to work immediately.
