Pomodoro Timer

About this tool

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks, based on the idea that sustained attention works better in bounded sprints than one long unbroken stretch. This timer alternates between focus and break periods automatically and counts completed focus sessions.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when a session ends?

The timer automatically switches to the next phase (focus → break, or break → focus) and a sound-free status message announces the change — keep the tab open to see it.

Can I change the standard 25/5 split?

Yes — adjust the focus and break lengths above; changes apply the next time a session starts or resets.

Does closing the tab pause the timer?

Yes — like most browser-based timers, it only runs while the tab is open. Closing or fully reloading the page resets the current session.
