Getting Started with Tomatoro

Tomatoro is built to get out of your way. There's no setup, no tutorial to sit through, and no account required to begin. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

1. Press start

Open Tomatoro and hit Start. The timer begins a focused session — 25 minutes by default. That's it; you're working. No sign-up, no configuration.

2. Work until it rings

Give the task your full attention until the timer ends. The countdown stays accurate even if you switch tabs or lock your phone, so the number you come back to is always honest.

3. Take your break

When the session ends, Tomatoro moves you into a short break. Step away, rest your eyes, then come back for the next round. After a few rounds you'll get a longer break.

4. Watch your harvest grow

Every finished session becomes a tomato. Your day fills up in front of you — a simple, satisfying record of the focus you've put in.
