Master Your Workflow | Pomodoro Focus Tracker
Stay in the zone and prevent burnout with the Pomodoro Focus Tracker. This tool goes beyond a simple timer by logging your tasks and session history, turning raw effort into measurable progress.
π‘ Why It Works
Stop fighting distractions and start time-boxing. This tool keeps your momentum high and your brain fresh by breaking work into manageable sprints.
- Crush Procrastination: Committing to a 25-minute sprint is an easy win compared to "working all afternoon."
- Log Your Progress: Enter a task name to create a clear record of exactly where your time goes.
- Automate Your Rhythm: Track your streaks automatically. The system triggers a 15-minute "long break" after every four sessions to ensure you reset.
π Pro Tips
- Get Granular: "Draft intro paragraph" is more effective than "Work." Specificity fuels focus.
- Enable Alerts: Turn on browser notifications to stay on track even when you're working in another tab.
- Respect the Reset: Donβt skip the 15-minute break. Step away from the screen, hydrate, or stretch. Itβs non-negotiable for long-term cognitive performance.
- Audit Your Day: Review your completed sessions at the end of the day for a dopamine boost and better planning for tomorrow.
π§ FAQ
Where is my session history stored? Data stays local. We save your history in your browserβs local storage, meaning your task names and timing data never leave your device.
Why didn't I get a notification? Click "Enable Notifications" and ensure neither your browser nor your OS (Windows/macOS/Linux) is in "Do Not Disturb" or "Focus" mode.
Can I change the timer intervals? This tool uses the classic 25/5/15 minute pattern. This specific rhythm is the industry standard for optimizing the focus-to-fatigue ratio in knowledge work.
π The Science
"Pomodoro" is Italian for "tomato." Francesco Cirillo, who developed the technique in the late 1980s, named it after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used as a student.
Frequent, structured breaks prevent "decision fatigue." By stepping away before you feel exhausted, you maintain a higher average performance level throughout the day than you would by grinding for four hours straight.
