Pomodoro Timer
Work in focused intervals with timed breaks. Free, no signup.
How It Works
Set your work and break durations, then click Start. The timer alternates between work sessions and breaks. A sound plays when each interval ends. The Pomodoro Technique helps maintain focus by working in short, dedicated bursts.
How to Use the Pomodoro Technique
- Choose one task to work on.
- Set the work timer (25 minutes is the classic length) and start.
- Work on the task without interruptions until the timer beeps.
- Take the short break when the timer switches to Break.
- Repeat. After about four pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes away from the timer.
Popular Focus Intervals
25/5 is the traditional split, but different work styles suit different lengths. Set the work and break fields to whichever pairing keeps you focused.
| Work | Break | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 25 min | 5 min | Classic Pomodoro, general tasks |
| 50 min | 10 min | Deep work and writing |
| 90 min | 20 min | Long, immersive focus blocks |
| 15 min | 3 min | Short bursts or low-energy days |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method where you work in focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, each followed by a short break of around 5 minutes. Each work interval is called a pomodoro, and the breaks help you stay fresh over a long study or work session.
How long should a Pomodoro and a break be?
The classic setting is 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of break, which is the default here. You can change both: this timer accepts a work length from 1 to 120 minutes and a break from 1 to 60 minutes, so you can tune it to how you focus.
Does the timer alert me when a session ends?
Yes. A short beep plays automatically when each work interval or break ends, and the timer then switches to the next phase on its own. The countdown also updates the browser tab title, so you can see the remaining time even when you are on another tab.
Does it count how many sessions I complete?
Yes. Each time a work interval finishes, the completed-session count below the timer increases, so you can track how many pomodoros you have done. The count starts back at zero when you reload the page.
Is the Pomodoro timer free and private?
Yes. It is completely free with no signup, and it runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you do is sent to a server, and no data is stored after you close or reload the page.
