Pomodoro Timer

Overview

The Pomodoro Technique alternates 25-minute focus sessions with 5-minute breaks. It was invented by Francesco Cirillo using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer, and it remains one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain concentration. This timer tracks your completed sessions so you can objectively measure your daily output.

Key Features

• 25-min focus + 5-min break default timer (customizable durations)
• Automatic completed session counter
• Long break notification every 4 sessions (15-30 min)
• Browser notifications when a session ends
• Start / pause / reset controls

How to Use

1. Press Start to begin a 25-minute focus timer.
2. When the timer rings, a 5-minute break starts automatically.
3. After 4 sessions, take a longer break.
4. Check the session counter to see how many pomodoros you completed today.

Tips

• Turn off messenger and social media notifications during focus time -- that is the key.
• Always take a 15-30 minute long break after every 4 pomodoros.
• Tracking daily pomodoro counts helps you notice productivity trends over time.

FAQ

Can I set a different time instead of 25 minutes?

Yes, both focus and break durations are fully customizable. However, the recommended Pomodoro durations are 25 and 5 minutes.

Does the timer persist if I close the browser?

The timer resets if you close the tab. Keep the tab open in the background while you work.

Are session records saved?

Completed session counts are kept while the page is open. Refreshing the page resets the counter.
