# Pomodoro

Route: /focus · Status: changing · Checked against code: 2026-10-15 9a41c31

The Pomodoro timer is part of **Focus** now. The old Pomodoro address opens Focus, and a
session that was already running keeps running there.

## What you see

- **The session card** in Focus: the task (or *Session without a task*), a big timer with
  *of 25 min* and a bar, the steps with *now*, and a field to drop a thought without leaving
  the work — the thoughts of this session are listed under it with their time.
- **Pause** and **Finish**, and *then a 5 min break ▾* to choose the break that follows:
  short, long or none.
- **⋯** on the card: the lengths of a session, the short and the long break; the whole-screen
  view; *Task done*.
- In the head of Focus while a session runs: *today* and *this week* in hours and minutes.
- In the desktop app on Windows, with the session feed on: *Feed is recording · steps stay on
  this computer* under the title, with *Pause feed* (see Tasks → the session feed).

## How to use it

1. In Focus, press **Start session** on the task — or **Session without a task**.
2. Work until it rings. Drop stray thoughts into the field; tick steps as you go.
3. At the end the card shows what got done and where your thoughts went; take the break or
   go again.

## How it works

- **Every session counts, even a short one.** Finishing early keeps the minutes you actually
  worked. A task shows how many sessions and minutes went into it.
- **One timer everywhere.** The timer in Focus, the island at the top of the screen and the
  phone's session screen are the same; you can leave Focus while it runs.
- **The long break** comes after every fourth session of the day, unless you choose another.
- **Thoughts** dropped during a session go to the archivist, which files them by itself.
- OnePuls can read your sessions and point you to Focus, but it does not start or change
  timers.
- **Your end-of-session answer** goes to the archivist, which files it into the project's
  History like any other thought. The card shows at most once per session and never blocks the
  screen.

## What OnePuls can do here

- OnePuls knows the way here and can read it, but does not change anything.
