About this tool
This Pomodoro timer is for students, remote workers and anyone who finds it easier to focus in short, timed bursts rather than one long unstructured stretch. The default 25-minute focus session followed by a 5-minute break is the classic Pomodoro technique, with a longer break every four rounds to properly recharge.
How to use it
- Adjust the focus and break lengths if you'd like, or keep the defaults.
- Click "Start" to begin a focus session.
- Work until the timer reaches zero — it automatically switches to a break.
- After four focus sessions, a longer break kicks in automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro technique?
It's a time-management method that breaks work into focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes), separated by short breaks, with a longer break after every four intervals. The structure helps maintain concentration and avoid burnout.
Can I change the interval lengths?
Yes — the focus length, short break and long break are all adjustable, so you can adapt the technique to whatever rhythm works for you.
Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?
No — the timer runs only while this page is open. If you close the tab or your browser, the current session stops and resets the next time you visit.
