Pomodoro Timer

What is the Pomodoro Timer?

This free online Pomodoro timer helps you work in focused sprints using the classic Pomodoro Technique: 25 minutes of concentrated work followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after every fourth session. Press Start and the timer counts down in the page and in your browser tab title, plays a gentle chime when time is up, and automatically lines up the next session for you.

Everything is configurable — focus length, short and long break lengths, and how many sessions come before a long break — and your settings are remembered on your device between visits. The timer runs entirely in your browser: no account, no install, and nothing is sent to a server. A daily counter tracks how many focus sessions you have completed today so you can watch your streak build.

Who Is This Tool For?

• Anyone who struggles to start big tasks and works better in short, committed sprints.
• Students revising for exams or writing essays who want structured study blocks with guaranteed breaks.
• Remote workers and freelancers who need a rhythm for deep work between meetings.
• Developers, writers, and designers using time-boxing to protect focus time from distractions.
• Anyone trying the Pomodoro Technique for the first time without installing an app.

Common Use Cases

• You time-box a dreaded task: committing to just one 25-minute Pomodoro makes it easy to start.
• You study in 25/5 cycles and take the long break after four sessions to stay fresh across an afternoon.
• You keep the timer in a pinned tab and glance at the countdown in the tab title while you work.
• You customize longer 50/10 cycles for deep work days, and the timer remembers your preference.
• You check the daily session counter at the end of the day to see how much focused time you actually got.

How to Use the Pomodoro Timer

1. Click Start to begin a 25-minute focus session — the countdown also shows in your browser tab title.
2. Work until the chime sounds; the timer then queues up a short break (or a long break after every fourth session).
3. Click Start again to begin the break, and use Pause, Reset, or Skip whenever you need to adjust.
4. Switch between Focus, Short break, and Long break manually with the tabs above the dial.
5. Open Settings to change session lengths, the long-break interval, or turn the end-of-session sound off — your choices are saved for next time.

The timer runs entirely in your browser. Your settings and daily session count are stored locally on your device and are never sent to a server.
