Why Use the Pomodoro Technique?
Studying for hours without a break often leads to burnout and distraction. The Pomodoro Technique solves this by breaking your work into focused 25-minute intervals separated by short breaks.
Our Online Study Timer handles the timing for you. It automatically tracks your focus sessions ("Pomodoros") and reminds you when it's time to rest, helping you stay fresh and retain more information.
