Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Technique splits your work into focused blocks, traditionally 25 minutes, separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer break after every four blocks. This pomodoro timer runs that cycle for you: it plays a sound at the end of each session and can start the next one automatically.

Every length is adjustable, so you can use 50/10 or 45/15 if that suits you better. The timer counts how many focus sessions and minutes you have done today, shows the remaining time in the tab title, and remembers your settings in this browser.

How to use the Pomodoro Timer tool

1. Optionally type what you are working on.
2. Press Start and focus until the sound plays.
3. Take the short break the timer starts next.
4. After four focus sessions, enjoy the long break.
5. Change the lengths in Timer settings if you like.

How the Pomodoro Technique works

Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s and named after a tomato-shaped kitchen timer, the method is simple: pick one task, work on it without interruptions until the timer rings, then take a short break. Each focus block is one "pomodoro".

Short, fixed blocks make big tasks easier to start, and regular breaks help you keep your energy through the day. If something distracts you, write it down and come back to it during the break.
