When should I take a longer break?

In the traditional Pomodoro routine, you take a longer break after completing four focus sessions. This break usually lasts 15–30 minutes, giving you more time to step away and recharge before another cycle.

Try taking a short walk, having a snack, or relaxing away from your workspace. Choose an activity you can comfortably finish within your break, and set a timer if you need a reminder to return. If you feel tired or uncomfortable before completing four sessions, you can take a break earlier and adjust your routine.

Also check whether a system-wide battery-saving mode is active. After adjusting the settings, start a short test session and leave the app to see whether the timer and end-of-session notification work as expected.
