Pomodoro Timer
What is Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Timer splits your work into focused sprints separated by short breaks, a method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. A classic setup is 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5 minute break, with a longer break after four rounds. This free timer runs entirely in your browser, plays a chime when each session ends, and lets you set your own focus, break and round lengths.
How to use
- Set your focus, short break, long break and round lengths in the fields below, or keep the classic 25, 5 and 15.
- Press Start to begin the focus session. The ring counts down and the time shows in the browser tab.
- Work until the chime sounds, then let the break run automatically.
- Use Skip to jump to the next phase or Reset to start the cycle over.
When to use it
Facing a long afternoon of deep work and keep drifting to your phone? Set 25 minutes of focus and a 5 minute break, hit Start, and work only until the chime. After four rounds you earn a 15 minute long break. Studying, writing, coding or clearing an inbox, the short deadline of a single sprint is often enough to get you moving.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It is a time management method that splits work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, separated by short 5 minute breaks. After four focus sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. The short deadlines make tasks easier to start and help hold your attention.
Can I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes. Edit the focus, short break, long break and rounds fields to any values you like, for example 50 minutes of focus with a 10 minute break. The timer follows your settings for the rest of the cycle.
Does it play a sound when a session ends?
Yes, a short chime plays at the end of every focus session and break, so you can look away from the screen. Make sure your device is not muted. On iPhone the timer flips the audio session so the ring switch does not silence it.
Can I share this tool with my inputs pre-filled?
Yes. The URL updates automatically as you change the lengths. Copy it from the address bar or use the Share button, and anyone who opens the link sees your exact focus and break settings ready to go.
