FAQs about Focus & Learning

FAQs about Focus & Learning

Does the Pomodoro timer automatically start a long break?

Yes. The Pomodoro preset cycles 25 min of focus and 5 min of break, and automatically takes a long break after every 4 rounds.

How do I keep a meeting from running over?

Use the Meeting Timer preset (30 min) — it warns you when 5 minutes remain, so each topic wraps up on time.

What's the difference between strict and record modes in Focus Mode?

Strict mode pauses the timer when you leave the app, while record mode logs every distraction honestly — both quantify your focus.

Is my total focus time tracked?

Yes. Focus time is recorded under the Focus scenario, with daily, weekly and monthly totals plus streaks.

How do I use the Pomodoro Technique?

The classic Pomodoro method: 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer 15-30 minute break after every 4 cycles. The Pomodoro (25 min) preset in Zhike Timer starts with one tap, durations are fully adjustable, and pairing it with Focus Mode works even better.
