Quick guide
How Focus Mode works
A clear cycle: choose a project, start a Pomodoro block, take a break, and review your progress.
What Pomodoro Is
A simple system to stay focused without burning out
The Pomodoro technique splits work into short, intense blocks with planned breaks.
It is not just about setting a timer: it protects attention, reduces mental fatigue, and turns big tasks into steady progress.
