One useful tab. One clear intention. This still feels manageable.
The protected timer that closes your escape routes
Choose one task. POMODORO blocks distracting sites, intercepts new tabs, and holds the boundary until your focus session ends.
You open one useful tab for the task.
Scroll slowly — every “quick thing” stays open.One useful tab. One clear intention. This still feels manageable.
It will only take a second. The original tab stays open underneath.
Four threads. Three windows. Ten tabs that all still feel unfinished.
The task is still open. The mental thread that made it easy is gone.
Name the one result you want from this session. POMODORO keeps only the tabs required for that outcome inside the protected window.
Chosen sites, new windows, and noisy alerts are unavailable. Every detour attempt becomes a quiet return to the task you selected.
Access returns automatically. See what was blocked, record what moved forward, then step away for a deliberate reset before the next lock.
The default lock for everyday work: enough time to move one task forward without leaving distracting routes open.
