How does Automato Pomodoro Timer work?
Automato operates in structured phases to optimize your productivity:

-
Work Phase: This core session lasts for your chosen duration (default 25 minutes). Automato checks for activity, providing alerts if you become inactive.
-
Overwork Phase: Post- Work Phase, you receive notifications to remind you to take a break, reinforcing a healthy work/rest cycle.
