Pomodoro Timer
Stay focused. Take breaks. Repeat.
About the Pomodoro Timer
This Pomodoro timer runs 25-minute focus sessions separated by short breaks, with a longer break every fourth round. All three intervals are adjustable to suit the work, and it needs no account, no install and no signup.
A Pomodoro timer implements a simple technique: work in a fixed block, then take a deliberate break, and repeat. The standard cycle is 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes off, and a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after four rounds.
The fixed interval is doing the work. Committing to 25 minutes is much easier than committing to a whole task, which is why the technique helps with procrastination. The break being enforced rather than optional is equally deliberate — it is what makes several rounds sustainable instead of ending in one long exhausted stretch.
The interval lengths are a starting point, not a rule. Deep work often runs better at 45 or 50 minutes, while 15 suits shallow or unappealing tasks. Adjust until the rhythm fits what you are doing, and keep the tab visible since browsers throttle timers in the background.
How to use the Pomodoro Timer
- Set your intervals. Keep the 25/5 default or adjust to suit the work.
- Start a session. Work until the timer signals the end of the block.
- Take the break. Step away — the break is part of the method, not optional.
- Repeat. After four rounds, take the longer break.
