Questions
What is the pomodoro technique?
Work in one focused block, usually 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. Francesco Cirillo named it after his tomato-shaped kitchen timer.
Brown, pink or white noise: what is the difference?
The same noise with its energy moved lower. White is flat across every pitch, pink falls gently toward the top, and brown falls away faster, so it sounds deepest.
Is it really free?
Yes. No account, no card and no limit on sessions.
Does it keep running in the background?
Yes, as long as the tab stays open. The sound loops without a gap and a soft chime marks the end of each block.
