The Problem

Every student has experienced this

You sit down to study, but before you've even opened your notes you're already wondering: How long should I study? When should I take a break? Am I too tired to push through right now?

This is decision fatigue, and it drains your mental energy before your actual studying even begins. The Pomodoro Technique is proven to help, but a rigid 25-minute timer ignores how you actually feel today.

PomoPlan solves this by taking inputs such as your energy level, time available, deadline urgency, and sleep hours, then generating a personalised study plan with Pomodoro blocks and suggested break timing for each session.

PomoPlan calculates your ideal work block length
It generates your full Pomodoro schedule with a session table

The science behind it

Research shows that sleep deprivation significantly reduces cognitive performance. PomoPlan accounts for this by applying a sleep modifier to your session length, so if you only slept 4 hours, your work blocks are automatically shortened to match your real capacity.

The Pomodoro Technique

Why Pomodoro?

The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It breaks work into focused intervals, separated by short breaks.

Reduces Overwhelm

Breaking large tasks into small timed blocks makes even the biggest assignments feel manageable.

Protects Mental Energy

Regular breaks prevent burnout and keep your brain fresh throughout long study sessions.

Builds Momentum

Completing each Pomodoro gives a sense of progress that motivates you to keep going.

Focus Soundscape

Set the mood for deep focus

Research shows that ambient sound can improve focus and reduce distractions. Play this during your Pomodoro work blocks for a deeper flow state.

Lo-fi Focus Mix — wave to earth vibes

Play during your work sessions and pause during breaks. The soft, dreamy sound creates a calm atmosphere, helping you stay focused while gently blocking out distractions.

Under the Hood

How the algorithm adapts your plan

PomoPlan uses four inputs to calculate the ideal study schedule for you today.

Input	What it affects	How it works
Energy Level (1–10)	Base work block length	Low energy - 15 min blocks · Peak energy - 45 min blocks
Sleep Hours	Sleep modifier (0.6 – 1.0)	Less sleep - shorter blocks to protect cognitive performance
Time Available	Total number of Pomodoros	Fills available time with as many complete blocks as possible
Deadline Urgency	Break length and strategy	Critical - 3 min breaks · Low urgency - longer, relaxed breaks
