Absolutely. While the standard is 25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of break, you can customize the intervals (e.g. 50 mins focus, 10 mins break) in your focus settings.
Will the timer work in the background?
Yes, the mobile app sends audio and push notifications when your focus or break period ends, and active sessions recover automatically if the app is closed.
