Pomodoro Timer
Plan a Pomodoro work session: total focused work time, short and long breaks, and total elapsed time.
How the calculation works
The classic Pomodoro technique alternates focused work sessions with short breaks, swapping in a longer break after a set number of sessions to prevent burnout. This adds up your total planned focus time and break time (a break follows every session except the final one, since there's nothing left to take a break before), so you know how long the whole plan will actually take.
Formula
Total Work Time = Work Session Length × Number of Sessions. A break follows every session except the last: a long break after every Nth session, a short break otherwise. Total Time = Total Work Time + Total Break Time.
Examples
25-min sessions, 5-min short breaks, 15-min long break every 4th, 8 sessions
3h 20m work + 45m breaks = 4h 5m total (6 short breaks, 1 long break)
25-min sessions, 5-min short breaks, 15-min long break every 4th, 5 sessions
2h 5m work + 30m breaks = 2h 35m total (3 short breaks, 1 long break)
