The Science of Flow
The Pomodoro Technique, developed by Francesco Cirillo, leverages psychological constraints to eliminate procrastination. By committing to 25-minute intervals, the brain reaches 'Deep Work' states more efficiently while scheduled breaks prevent the build-up of mental fatigue.

Technical FAQ
Why 25 minutes exactly?
Empirical studies suggest 25 minutes is the 'Goldilocks' zone for sustained attention. It's long enough to achieve significant progress but short enough to avoid the cognitive decline associated with multitasking.
What is the benefit of a 'Long Break'?
Long breaks (usually 15-30 mins) after 4 sessions allow for complete neural resetting. This prevents burnout and maintains creativity during extended work periods.
Do notifications work in the background?
Yes. UtilVox uses Browser Push Notifications and high-priority Web Audio. If you grant permission, the timer will alert you even if you are working in another application.
