What it does
Sessions runs a configurable number of focus/break cycles. The block is active during focus slices and lifts during break slices. After all sessions complete, the block enters a hard-locked state until the next local midnight.
How it differs from the standalone Pomodoro timer
- The standalone Pomodoro timer (free) just rings bells and tracks cycles. It doesn't enforce anything.
- Sessions is a LOCK TYPE — it ties the cycle to actual block enforcement, and refuses to be disabled mid-session.
- Sessions also has a finite count; once your daily sessions are spent, the block stays locked until midnight.
How to configure
- Set Lock Type (or Break Configuration) to Sessions.
- Set Session Count — total cycles for the day. Default 3, max 20.
- Set Focus Minutes (default 25) and Short Break Minutes (default 5).
- Optionally set Final Long Break Minutes to replace the last short break with a longer one.
When to use it
You want the productivity rhythm of Pomodoro AND the enforcement of a lock. Particularly good for users who burn out their daily Pomodoro count quickly and then bail on the system — Sessions makes the daily budget real.
When sessions are exhausted for the day, the block hard-locks until midnight. This is intentional — running out of sessions is supposed to mean "you're done working for today," not "start a fourth set."
