Pomodoro Timer
Study or work in focused 25-minute sessions with short breaks — and watch your focus time add up.
At a glance
- Runs the Pomodoro cycle for you: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer break after every fourth session.
- Presets for classic 25/5, study 50/10, deep work 90/20 and quick 15/3 — or set your own times.
- A chime and an optional desktop notification when a session ends, and auto-start for hands-free cycles.
- Add tasks with the number of Pomodoros you expect; each finished session counts towards the one you’re working on.
- Tracks sessions and focus time today, your daily streak and the last seven days.
- Keeps exact time even when the tab is in the background or the page is reloaded. Everything stays on your device.

Why the Pomodoro technique works
The method, created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and named after his tomato-shaped kitchen timer, breaks work into short, fixed sessions. A deadline that is only 25 minutes away makes it easier to start and to resist distractions, and regular breaks keep you fresh for longer. Counting Pomodoros also shows how long tasks really take.

Which timer to choose
| Preset | Good for |
|---|---|
| Classic 25 / 5 | Most study and office work, and getting started on tasks you’ve been putting off. |
| Study 50 / 10 | Exam preparation and long reading once you’re used to focusing. |
| Deep work 90 / 20 | Writing, coding and problem-solving that needs long stretches. |
| Quick 15 / 3 | Younger students, low energy days, or tasks you dread. |
