The day

Drag anything still ahead of you into a new position, or nudge it with the arrows. A pomodoro carries its break along with it. Minutes stay editable until a block is finished.

Where these numbers come from

Francesco Cirillo's method, written down in the late 1980s, fixes four intervals. The app starts from them.

25 min: one pomodoro, single task, indivisible — an interrupted one doesn't count
3–5 min: the break after it, and it's compulsory, not optional
4: pomodoros in a set, before the rhythm resets
15–30 min: the long break closing each set

Cirillo allows 5–10 extra minutes to finish a thought when the bell catches you mid-sentence — the rule is not to start anything new in them. Intervals of roughly 20–45 minutes all work; 25 is the starting point, not the law.
