Free Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Technique: work for 25 focused minutes, take a 5-minute break, and after four rounds take a longer 15-minute break. This timer implements the classic cycle with a live progress ring, desktop notifications, and local stats — sessions today, all sessions, and your daily streak. Customize any duration to fit your own rhythm.
Why does Pomodoro work?
Structured focus beats willpower. Short, timed blocks create a sense of urgency that helps you start (the hardest part), while scheduled breaks prevent burnout. Over a day, four to eight Pomodoros move real projects forward. Developers, writers, and students have used the technique for decades — it turns "work for hours" into "win 25-minute rounds."
Pomodoro Timer FAQ
What does the ring show? The conic-gradient ring fills clockwise as you complete the session. Does it notify me? Optionally you'll get a browser notification on break/focus switches — enable it in your browser settings. Where are my stats stored? Only in your browser's local storage — nothing is ever uploaded. Does it keep running if I switch tabs? Yes — the timer is based on real time, not requestAnimationFrame, so it stays accurate in background tabs.
