The classic technique without the babysitting: press Start once and the timer walks you through focus sessions and breaks on its own, counts your completed sessions, and beeps at every change.
Settings apply when you press Reset and Start a fresh cycle. The phase changes by itself — you never need to touch the page between focus and break.
The Pomodoro Technique splits work into timed sprints: focus completely for one session, rest briefly, repeat, and take a longer rest after a set of sessions. This timer encodes that whole schedule as a timeline. When you press Start it notes the time; from then on, your current phase is worked out from how much time has passed since that moment. Focus sessions, breaks and the session counter can therefore never drift, skip or double-fire — if the tab sleeps through a whole break, you return to find the timer already in the correct next phase.
Three beeps mark the start of a break, two beeps mark the start of a focus session. Pause freezes the timeline; Reset clears it so new settings can take effect.

No. The phase changes automatically at the scheduled moment and the beeper sounds — short breaks, the long break and the next focus session all arrive on their own until you pause or reset.
The schedule is derived from timestamps, so nothing is lost. If the tab sleeps through a break, you come back to the timer already showing the correct current phase with the correct time remaining — never a stale, drifted count.
Settings apply to the next fresh cycle: press Reset, edit the numbers, then Start. This keeps the running timeline consistent instead of silently reshaping a session you are halfway through.
A session counts as completed the moment its focus block ends and a break begins. The counter is computed from the same timeline, so it stays right even after the tab has been asleep.
One full cycle is a fixed block of time, and your position inside it decides everything:
You press Start at 9:00 AM with the default settings. Focus runs 9:00–9:25, break 9:25–9:30, focus 9:30–9:55, break 9:55–10:00, focus 10:00–10:25, break 10:25–10:30, focus 10:30–10:55 — the fourth session — and then the long break runs 10:55–11:10, with the counter showing 4 sessions completed. At 11:10 a new cycle begins automatically. Check the timer at 10:47 and it shows focus session 4 with 8 minutes left — because 107 minutes have passed since 9:00, and minute 107 of the schedule sits 17 minutes into the fourth focus block.
