Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?+
A time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in 25-minute focused intervals (called Pomodoros) separated by short breaks. After four Pomodoros, you take a longer break.
Why does it work?+
It combats mental fatigue by breaking work into manageable chunks and making rest mandatory. It also creates urgency — knowing a timer is running helps you resist distractions and stay focused.
Can I change the timer durations?+
TimerHub uses the classic 25/5/15 timing — the format proven most effective in productivity research. We keep the defaults locked so the technique works as designed.
Does it track sessions automatically?+
Yes. The session counter, full cycle counter, and total minutes focused update automatically as you complete each Pomodoro.
