The 45/15 timer: 45 minutes of focused work, a 15-minute break, repeated for four rounds. It is a popular middle ground between the classic 25-minute Pomodoro and the longer 52/17 — long enough to settle into a chapter, a problem set, or a writing task, with a generous break to reset between rounds.
The 3-to-1 ratio of work to rest is an easy one to plan a study session around: four rounds fill an afternoon almost to the hour. Press start and the timer runs each focus block and break in turn, or open the editor to shorten the blocks, change the break, or add rounds.
The classic Pomodoro — 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, four rounds.
The DeskTime ratio — 52 minutes of focus, a 17-minute break, four rounds.
Study, then one episode — 40 minutes of focus, a 20-minute break, four rounds.
