How it works
The Pomodoro technique splits work into 25-minute focus sessions with 5-minute breaks, and a longer break after every few sessions.
- Press Start (or the space bar) to begin a 25-minute focus session.
- When the bell rings, the timer switches to a 5-minute short break. Step away from your work.
- After every 4 focus sessions the timer offers a longer break so you can properly recharge.
- Adjust the focus, break, and cycle lengths in the settings under the dial; your preferences are saved automatically.
FAQ
- What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- A way of working in short, timed bursts: 25 minutes of focused work (one pomodoro), then a 5-minute break, with a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after four rounds. Francesco Cirillo devised it in the late 1980s and named it after his tomato-shaped kitchen timer.
- Is this Pomodoro timer free?
- Yes. There is no paid version.
- Can I change the 25/5 intervals?
- Yes. You can set your own focus length, short and long break lengths, and how many cycles pass before a long break. Your settings are remembered on this device.
- Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs or reload?
- Yes. The countdown is based on the clock, not on the tab being active, and a running session is restored after a reload, so a Pomodoro is never lost.
