Pomodoro timer
00:25:00.000
Completed focus rounds: 0
Press Start to begin a 25-minute focus session. When it ends, the timer selects the break for you (5 minutes, or 15 after four rounds) but never starts it silently — you start each phase deliberately.
Good for studying, writing, coding and any deep work. The round indicator tracks where you are in the four-session cycle.

Pomodoro timer questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method: work in focused 25-minute sessions separated by short breaks, with a longer break after four sessions. It keeps attention fresh and makes large tasks feel smaller.
What is a Pomodoro timer?
A Pomodoro timer automates the technique — it counts down 25 minutes of focus, then 5-minute breaks, then a 15-minute long break after four rounds. This page runs the full cycle for you.
How does the Pomodoro technique work?
Pick one task, start a 25-minute focus session, then take a 5-minute break. Repeat four times, then take a 15–30 minute long break. This timer advances the phases automatically and never starts a break silently.
How long is a Pomodoro session?
A standard Pomodoro session is 25 minutes of focused work. This timer uses 25 minutes for focus, 5 minutes for short breaks and 15 minutes for the long break.
How long should a Pomodoro break be?
Take 5-minute breaks between sessions and a 15–30 minute break after every four sessions. Short breaks are for resting your eyes and moving; long breaks are for a real reset.
How many Pomodoros should I do?
Most people do 4 focus sessions (one full cycle) before a long break, then start a new cycle. Two to four cycles make a productive half or full day — stop when focus drops rather than forcing more.
Is Pomodoro good for studying?
Yes — short timed sessions with breaks suit revision, problem sets and reading. The timer keeps you honest about starting and stopping, which is where most study plans fail.
Can I use a Pomodoro timer online?
Yes. This Pomodoro timer runs entirely in your browser — focus, short break and long break phases with round tracking, no account or download needed.
What should I do during a Pomodoro break?
Stand up, stretch, drink water, look away from the screen and let your mind wander. Avoid starting another task or scrolling — the break works best when it is a genuine rest.
