A Pomodoro timer helps you focus by working in short, timed sessions separated by breaks. Start the timer, work until it rings, then take a break — after four focus sessions you get a longer break. Durations are adjustable and everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How to use
- Press Start to begin a focus session.
- Work until the timer ends, then let the break run automatically.
- Adjust the focus and break lengths in settings if you like.
How it works
The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused intervals — traditionally 25 minutes — each followed by a short break of about 5 minutes. After four focus sessions you take a longer break of around 15 minutes. This rhythm helps maintain concentration while preventing burnout. The timer cycles through these phases for you and counts how many focus sessions you complete.
