What is a Pomodoro timer?
The common plan is 25 minutes of work, then a 5-minute break. After four work rounds, you take a longer break. The name comes from the tomato-shaped kitchen timer used by Francesco Cirillo.
The method gives a task a clear start and stop. You still pick the task, and the interval length is yours to change.

How do I set the session plan?
Open Session plan to change work time, short breaks, long breaks, and the number of work rounds before a long break.
A change made during a running phase waits for the next one. Change something while paused and it can apply at once, which keeps the clock from jumping without warning.
Which interval length should I use?
Start with 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest if you want the common pattern. Shorter blocks suit a small task. Go longer when stopping often would break the task apart.
Treat the numbers as a plan, not a rule. Change them when the task needs a different pace.
What does TimerBox save?
Each finished work session gets a time stamp. The page shows today's work rounds and minutes. Open History for recent entries, or use Export CSV for the full saved list.
The history stays in this browser, and clearing site data removes it. Export the file if you want a copy that lasts.
How should I use the breaks?
Decide on one task before you press Start. When the timer ends, stop or choose a new round on purpose. During a break, step away from the task if that helps you return with a clear next step.
