About this timer
The break in the 52/17 rhythm, which comes from an often-cited analysis by a time-tracking company: 52 minutes of work, then 17 minutes properly away from the screen. It's long enough for a walk around the block or a coffee you actually sit down for.
Long enough for real work, short enough that you can hold your attention for the whole stretch. Study blocks, cooking stages, meetings with a firm end, and workouts all land here. The timer counts down from the moment you press start, not from when the tab was last visible.
