Pomodoro for ADHD. The starting line is the hard part.

The Pomodoro Technique works for ADHD because it turns "do the thing" into "do 25 minutes". Promodify is the smallest, cleanest version of that timer.

Why Pomodoro helps ADHD brains

• Lowers activation cost. 25 minutes is shorter than your worst fear of the task.
• Externalizes time. The countdown lives in the tab, so you don't have to hold "how long have I been here?" in working memory.
• Forced breaks. Five-minute timer ends doom-scrolling because you have to come back.
• Visible progress. The "today" counter rewards completed sessions with a number that goes up.

Pick the interval that fits how you feel today

Low energy, scattered: 25/5. Anything longer feels impossible.
Hyperfocus risk: 50/10. Long enough to drop in, with a hard stop before you forget to eat.
Big project, executive-function fog: 90/15. Two of these is a great day.

Setup that reduces friction

1. Pin the Promodify tab so it's the first tab in your bar.
2. Turn on brown noise — masks the parts of the environment that pull attention.
3. Switch to Deep Focus (fullscreen) when you start drifting between tabs.
4. Don't moralize a skipped Pomodoro. Start the next one.

Promodify is a productivity tool, not medical advice. If ADHD is affecting your life, talk to a clinician.
