Forty-five minutes: a lesson, a half, a long focus
Forty-five minutes is a typical school lesson in many countries and exactly one half of a football (soccer) match. It also suits a long focus session for adults who find 25-minute Pomodoros too short: many people work best in blocks of 45 to 50 minutes followed by a 10 to 15 minute break. For a run or a gym session, 45 minutes leaves time for a warm-up, the main set and a cool-down.

FAQ
Is 45 minutes better than 25 for focus?
It depends on the task. Writing and coding often need longer to get into, so many people prefer 45 to 50 minutes. Try both for a week and keep the one you finish more blocks with.
Does the 45 minute timer make a sound?
Yes, a soft three-note chime plays twice when the countdown reaches zero. Tap Start once first so your browser allows sound.
Can I change the time?
Tap the big numbers and type a new time, for example 7, 7:30 or 1:15:00.
