How Pomodoro timer works
Pomodoro timer implements the Pomodoro Technique: 25-minute focused work sessions separated by 5-minute short breaks, with a longer 15-minute break after every four sessions. The timer cycles through this sequence automatically and plays a sound at each transition, so you can stay in flow without watching the clock.
This is distinct from the plain countdown Timer (a single, one-shot countdown for any duration you choose) and the Stopwatch (which counts up and records laps). The Pomodoro timer's value is the fixed, automated rhythm, you start it and follow the cycle. Work and break durations are configurable if you prefer a different interval, and it tracks how many sessions you have completed.
