50/10 Pomodoro Timer

Some work only gets going after twenty minutes — programming, writing, math-heavy problem sets. For that kind of work the classic 25/5 rhythm can interrupt you exactly when you reach depth. The 50/10 split keeps the pomodoro structure (a hard deadline, a real break) but gives each round enough room for genuine deep work.

Lofi Timer has 50/10 as a one-tap preset. Two rounds make a solid two-hour block — conveniently the length of one Lofi Cat mood mix.

1. Pick a station. Choose a 2-hour lofi mood mix — rainy night or morning café — and press play.
2. Set your timer. Classic 25/5 pomodoro, longer 50/10 deep-work rounds, or your own custom intervals.
3. Add your tasks. Write down what you're working on so each focus round has a target.
4. Start. The countdown lives in your tab title, a soft chime marks each break, and the music keeps flowing.

50/10 is a sweet spot, not a rule. Writers often like 90/20 (a full ultradian cycle); students revising for exams often drop back to the classic 25/5 when material is heavy on memorization. The custom mode takes any interval, and the timer counts with timestamps so a background tab never drifts.

Whichever split you choose, the 10-minute break is load-bearing: away from the screen, ideally on your feet. The chime will call you back.
