Formula & worked example

Focus total = focus × cycles. Break total = (cycles − 1) × short break + long break. Session total = focus total + break total.

Four classic Pomodoros (25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break, 15-minute long break) total 100 minutes of focus and 30 minutes of breaks — a 130-minute session.

Limitations — read this before you rely on it

Planning tool plus an indicative browser countdown. It does not persist across page closes, send notifications reliably in background tabs, or track task completion.
