How Routinely works
Why does a short focus session have no break?
How Routinely chooses a break pattern for focus time.
Direct answer
Sessions shorter than 25 minutes stay as one continuous focus block; longer sessions can include breaks.
What to do
- Choose a longer duration if you want a built-in break.
- During a running session, use the available Take break or Finish for now action when it appears.
- If the timer state itself looks wrong, use the focus timer troubleshooting guide.
