Focus in sprints. Rest on purpose.
A calm Pomodoro timer that lives in your browser. Pick a mode, press start, and let the rounds do the work.
Round 1 of 4
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Three timer modes
Focus for 25 minutes, then a 5-minute short break or a 15-minute long break.
Chime when time is up
A soft two-note sound tells you the round is over, so you can look away from the clock.
Time in the tab title
See the remaining time in your browser tab while you work in another window.
Automatic cycle
After each round the timer moves to the next mode and waits for you. After four focus rounds comes the long break.

Follow your system or pick light or dark yourself.

How it works
Pick your task
Decide on one thing you want to make progress on.
Start a 25-minute round
Press Start and work on that one thing until the chime sounds.
Take a short break
Step away for 5 minutes. Stretch, drink some water, rest your eyes.
Repeat, then rest longer
After four focus rounds, take a 15-minute long break and begin again.
Why it works
Working in short, fixed blocks gives you a clear start and a clear finish. Knowing a break is coming makes it easier to ignore distractions, and regular pauses keep your attention from wearing out. The technique is simple on purpose: one task, one timer, one round at a time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It is a time management method where you work in focused rounds, traditionally 25 minutes long, separated by short breaks. After four rounds you take a longer break.
Can I change the durations?
Not yet. The timer uses 25 minutes for focus, 5 for a short break and 15 for a long break.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The remaining time is calculated from the moment the round ends, so it stays accurate while the tab is in the background.
Does it save my progress?
No. Nothing is stored. If you reload the page, the timer goes back to its initial state.
Is it free?
Yes, and you don't need an account to use it.
