🍅 Pomodoro Planner
Set your total available time and session lengths to see how many pomodoros you can fit in, with breaks and long breaks laid out on a timeline.
⏱️ Plan Your Focus Session
What is a Pomodoro Planner?
It takes the total block of time you have and breaks it into focused work sessions and breaks, following the Pomodoro Technique. Punch in your available time, your focus and break lengths, and how often you want a long break, and it lays out the whole schedule — how many pomodoros you'll complete and when each break falls.
Use it to plan a study block, a deep-work afternoon, or any stretch of time where you want structured focus instead of one long undifferentiated slog. Adjust the lengths to match your own attention span — the classic 25/5 split with a 15-minute long break every four pomodoros is just a starting point.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It's a time-management method where you work in focused bursts — traditionally 25 minutes — followed by a short break, with a longer break after every few bursts. Each burst is called a 'pomodoro', named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer its creator used.
How does the Pomodoro Planner work?
Enter the total time you have available, how long you want each focus session and break to be, and how often you want a long break. It fits as many complete focus-and-break cycles as possible into your available time and lays out the full timeline, including exactly when each long break falls.
Why take a long break every few pomodoros?
Short breaks keep you fresh between bursts, but concentration still erodes over a longer stretch of work. A longer break every third or fourth pomodoro (the classic ratio is every four) gives your attention a fuller reset before the next run of focus sessions.
Can I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes — 25/5 with a 15-minute long break is the traditional split, but you can set any focus length, break length, long-break length, and long-break interval that suits how you work. The planner recalculates the whole timeline from your inputs.
