How a timebox works

Each task, its own length

Type “Write report 45m” and the length is set. Tasks without one use your default.

Time's up is a nudge, not a stop

When the time runs out the timer keeps counting on, in a calm grey. You decide when it's done.

Know when you'll finish

The list shows how long everything adds up to and the time you'll be done. Run the list in order and each task starts after the last.

Honest about timers in browsers

Time is only counted while you're here: if your device sleeps or every tab is closed past the end, the timer pauses and asks what happened. In Chrome and Edge you can pop the timer out into a small window that stays on top.

Common questions

What is timeboxing?

Timeboxing means deciding in advance how much time a task gets and working on it only within that box. It turns an open-ended list into a plan with a finish time.

Timeboxing or pomodoro — which should I use?

Use pomodoros when your tasks are similar and you like a fixed rhythm. Use timeboxes when they vary in length, like a 10-minute email and a 90-minute report. You can switch between the two at any time.

What happens when a timebox runs out?

You get a gentle reminder and the timer keeps counting up in grey. You decide when the task is done; nothing is ticked off for you.
