Pomodoro Timer
25-minute focus sprints with short and long breaks — the classic method.
The Pomodoro Timer runs the classic timeboxing technique: 25 minutes of deep focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer 15-minute reset every few rounds. The technique turns overwhelming work into a series of manageable sprints and gives procrastination a clear deadline.
The timer counts down with a bold circular display and a progress ring, switches between focus and break modes with one click, and tallies completed focus sessions for the satisfying session count. The page title shows the remaining time, so you can glance at the tab and know where you are.
No login, no sync, no analytics — just a timer that runs in the tab you are working in. Try it for one task and see whether the structure helps; most people find the first sprint is the hardest and the second one easy.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
Work in 25-minute focus blocks ('pomodoros') followed by 5-minute breaks, with a longer break after four blocks. The structure leverages the Zeigarnik effect and deadline pressure to beat procrastination.
Are 25-minute blocks right for everyone?
Many people extend focus to 45–60 minutes once warmed up, and shorten it to 15 for grinding tasks. The mode buttons make any length easy — the technique matters more than the exact minutes.
Does the timer keep running in the background?
The countdown continues while the tab is open; background-tab throttling can slow timers on some browsers, but the page re-syncs from the clock each tick, so accuracy holds when you return.
