Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses 25-minute focused work intervals ("pomodoros") followed by 5-minute breaks. After four pomodoros, you take a longer 15–30 minute break. It helps maintain focus and prevents burnout.

Are my habits saved between sessions?

Yes. The Habit Tracker uses localStorage to persist your habits and completion data directly in your browser. Your data survives page refreshes and browser restarts — no account needed.

How does the meeting cost calculator work?

It converts annual salaries to hourly rates (salary ÷ 2,080 work hours), multiplies by meeting duration and number of participants. For recurring meetings, it projects the annual cost and shows how much you'd save by reducing meeting length.

Can I export invoices as PDF?

Currently the Invoice Generator supports plain text and CSV export formats, which you can download instantly. You can use the text export with any PDF tool to create PDF invoices.

Do the timers work in the background?

Yes. The countdown and Pomodoro timers continue running when you switch tabs. Audio alerts will play when the timer completes, so you get notified even if you're in another tab.

How are streaks calculated?

A streak counts consecutive days where you completed a habit. If today isn't checked off yet, the streak counts backward from yesterday. Missing a single day resets the streak to zero.

Can I customize Pomodoro durations?

Yes. You can customize the work duration, short break length, long break length, and how many pomodoros before a long break. The default is 25/5/15 with long breaks every 4 sessions.

Are these tools really free?

Yes — every productivity tool on ToolRux is completely free to use with no limits, no ads, and no sign-up required.
