What is the Pomodoro technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a timer to break work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. Each interval is known as a pomodoro.

Will the timer work if I switch tabs?

Yes, the timer continues running in the background, and you can see the remaining time updated live in the browser tab's title.
