Pomodoro · 25 minutes

The Pomodoro Technique, but smarter.

The classic Pomodoro is 25 minutes of focused work followed by 5 minutes of rest. Repeat 4 times, then take a longer break. It works because it makes intimidating tasks finite, and because your brain isn't actually built for hours of uninterrupted deep work.

timer.new's AI Focus Coach adapts the Pomodoro shape to your actual task — longer planning if you're writing, shorter bursts for flashcards, alternating blocks for debugging.
