What is a Pomodoro timer?
A Pomodoro timer is a clock that runs the Pomodoro Technique, a time management method that splits work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes long, separated by short breaks.
Each interval is called a pomodoro, the Italian word for tomato. The BazzHood timer adds a task list, custom times, alarm sounds and aesthetic backgrounds, and works on every device.

Where the technique comes from
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. He used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to keep himself focused while studying, and the method took its name from it.
The idea is simple: work in short, protected bursts, then rest, so your focus stays fresh across the whole day.
