Frequently asked questions

What is a time blocking timer?

A time blocking timer turns calendar-style work blocks into visible countdowns or segments for planning, focus, review, and breaks.

Is time blocking the same as Pomodoro?

They are related. Pomodoro uses repeated focus and break cycles, while time blocking assigns specific work to a scheduled block.

Can I share a time blocking timer with a team?

Yes. Create an XTimer room when a team, class, or coworking group should follow the same work block.
