Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about offline use, local storage, notifications, consent-based advertising, privacy, and how to get the most out of DeepMinute.
What is the Pomodoro technique?
The Pomodoro technique is a focus method where you work in timed blocks with deliberate breaks. It helps reduce drift, create urgency, and maintain attention quality over longer days.
Does DeepMinute work offline?
Yes. DeepMinute is designed as a local-first web app and continues to work offline after the first load in supported browsers.
Do I need an account to use the timer?
No. DeepMinute does not require sign-up for core timer features, settings, or local statistics.
Where is my timer data stored?
Settings, sessions, and statistics are stored in your browser on your device. DeepMinute does not require cloud storage for normal use.
How do notifications work?
Browser notifications are optional. If enabled, DeepMinute uses your browser permission settings and your configured notification text for focus and interval stages.
How do sound alerts work?
Sound alerts are configurable in settings. You can turn them off completely or adjust the playback volume for completion events.
Can DeepMinute be used for studying, writing, or art practice?
Yes. DeepMinute supports both single-focus sessions and interval workflows, which makes it suitable for study cycles, writing sessions, coding blocks, gesture drills, and longer creative routines.
What do cookies and ad consent controls do?
The consent banner is used to record your ad and analytics choice on this device. Accepting allows consent-based advertising and measurement features when they are active; declining prevents consent-based ad use from this banner flow.
Does DeepMinute use personalized ads?
If advertising is enabled on the site, ad partners may use consent-based signals to serve personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your region, your settings, and applicable law. The privacy page explains this at a policy level.
