Beat procrastination with the Pomodoro method: work on one task for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and after four rounds take a longer rest. The timer runs the cycle for you, chimes at every change, and counts how many focused rounds and minutes you finished today. Change any length to suit you.
loading toolHow to use the Pomodoro timer
- Type what you will work on (optional) and check the lengths.
- Press Start and focus until the chime.
- Take the break it suggests; the next round starts by itself if “Start the next round automatically” is ticked.
Good to know
- Put your phone face down and close chat apps during focus rounds.
- Use Skip if you finish early, and Reset to start a fresh cycle.
Questions
What is the Pomodoro technique?
A time-management method by Francesco Cirillo: you split work into short focused blocks (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. Knowing a break is coming makes it easier to start and to stay focused.
Can I change 25 minutes to 50?
Yes. Type any focus, short-break and long-break length, and how many rounds come before the long break. Your settings are remembered on this device.
Does it work if I switch to another tab or app?
Yes for keeping time: it reads the real clock, so the time stays exact. Sounds can only play while the page is still open in the browser, so do not close the tab.
