Questions

What does 25/5 mean in a Pomodoro timer?

25 minutes of focus followed by a 5 minute break. The timer runs 4 rounds in 2 hours, then plays a final chime.

What is a 25/5 Pomodoro good for?

A 25/5 Pomodoro suits homework, revision and getting started on tasks you have been putting off.

Does the timer start the break by itself?

Yes. After each focus block the break starts on its own with a chime, and the next focus block follows the same way, for all 4 rounds. Skip ends the current block early.

Can I use the 25/5 Pomodoro timer without YouTube?

Yes. The timer at the top of this page runs in your browser, keeps time in a background tab and can go fullscreen.
