No long breaks for 50/10 timebox

[DonaldTsang]

The app does not have an option to switch off the long breaks when I need to. See:

I went through the links you shared. What I understand is that you don't want the long breaks at all, and all pomodoros should be 50/10.

Two thoughts on how you could work around this for now, please correct me if I'm wrong though,

• Set the long break duration in settings to 10 mins, or
• Set the rounds value in settings to a high number so that the long breaks won't be triggered

In terms of an enhancement on the app side, @Splode do you think it would make sense to allow users to set the rounds to 0 (or infinity?) which would disable the long break entirely?

@johnjacobkenny,

do you think it would make sense to allow users to set the rounds to 0 (or infinity?) which would disable the long break entirely?

I think this could be a decent short-term solution.

I have been using Pomotroid this way but configured it the other way round:

• set the long break duration to 10min
• set the rounds to 1

This means that the short breaks will never be triggered and you only switch between focus and long break.
