Why use Pomodoro Timer?

This Pomodoro timer counts down a Focus interval, 25 minutes by default, then automatically switches to a Break interval, 5 minutes by default, and back again, so you do not have to remember to restart it between work and rest. Both interval lengths are editable, so if the classic 25/5 split does not fit your attention span, you can set your own. A progress bar under the clock fills as the current interval elapses, giving a visual sense of how much time is left without watching the numbers directly. Every completed Focus interval increments a session counter, saved to this browser's local storage, so you can see how many focused blocks you have finished across the day. Start, Pause, and Reset give full control over the countdown: Pause holds the clock where it is, and Reset returns you to the beginning of a fresh Focus interval. The timer only runs while this tab is open, and because it works entirely with client-side JavaScript, there is no account, no server, and nothing about your work sessions is ever transmitted anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pomodoro technique?

A time-management method that alternates focused work intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, with short breaks, traditionally 5 minutes, to maintain concentration and avoid burnout.

Can I change the interval lengths?

Yes. The Focus and Break minute fields are both editable, so you are not limited to the classic 25 and 5 minute split.

Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?

No. The countdown only runs while this browser tab is open, closing or navigating away stops it.

Is my session count saved?

Yes, your completed Focus session count is saved to this browser's local storage, but it is not synced anywhere else.

What happens when a Focus interval ends?

The timer automatically switches to a Break interval of your set length, and back to Focus when the break ends, no need to press Start again for the switch itself, though the timer only counts down while running.
