Frequently asked questions

Why 45/15 instead of 90/20?

Ninety-minute blocks are powerful for solo deep work but punishing in a coworking call — coworkers cycle through their own breaks at different rhythms. The 45/15 cadence gives everyone a shared rest window without losing the depth of a 45-minute block.

Is this the Focusmate cadence?

Focusmate uses single 25, 50, or 75-minute sessions. The 45/15 preset is closer to the cadence used by Caveday's three-hour cowork blocks and by writers' sprint groups that meet for a full morning.

What kind of work suits 45 minutes?

Writing, coding, design, analysis — anything that needs you to hold a complex problem in your head. Avoid quick admin work (use 15/5 for that) and avoid open-ended brainstorms (no timer needed).

How do I keep my coworking group in sync?

Open this URL at the same minute on every device. The phases are deterministic from the start time. Use a side video call for accountability and the start-of-block task share.
