๐Ÿ… 25 focus + 5 break, with a long break every 4th session โ€” daily stats reset each morning and live only in your browser.

๐Ÿ…A focus timer that behaves like an app

The full Pomodoro workflow, not just a countdown: a progress ring that fills as you focus, automatic cycling through 25-minute sprints and breaks with a long break every fourth session, cycle dots so you always know where you are, and a daily scoreboard of sessions and deep-work minutes that resets each morning. The browser tab shows the countdownwhile you work in other tabs, space starts and pauses, and everything โ€” durations, your current task, today's stats โ€” is saved locally.

๐Ÿ“ŠEverything you'd want to know

  • Classic 25/5/15 defaults, fully customisable (1โ€“120 minutes) with an auto-start-next option.
  • Live tab-title countdown โ€” glance at the tab instead of switching back.
  • Cycle dots track your position in the 4-session rhythm; the long break arrives automatically.
  • Today's tomatoes ๐Ÿ… and total deep-work time, persisted per-day in your browser.
  • A task line to name your focus โ€” writing it down measurably reduces drift.
  • Drift-free timing: the countdown is anchored to the wall clock, so a busy tab never loses seconds.

๐ŸงฎWhy 25 minutes works

4 ร— (25 focus + 5 break) + 15 long break โ‰ˆ 2 hours of protected work

Twenty-five minutes is short enough that starting feels easy โ€” the technique's real trick โ€” and long enough to reach flow. The forced break before fatigue keeps quality flat across sessions instead of decaying, and the every-4th long break resets attention for the next block.

A 3-hour evening = 6 pomodoros โ‰ˆ 2.5 hours of true focus โ€” typically more real work than 4 unstructured hours with a phone nearby.

๐Ÿ’กGetting the most from each tomato

  • One pomodoro, one task โ€” write it in the task line and refuse everything else for 25 minutes.
  • Phone in another room beats phone face-down: interruptions void the pomodoro.
  • Breaks are for movement, not scrolling โ€” the point is to rest attention, not re-spend it.
  • Track your daily tomato count for a week; the number itself becomes motivating.

๐Ÿ’ก Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?+

A time-management method by Francesco Cirillo: work in focused 25-minute sprints ('pomodoros') separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer 15-minute break after every fourth sprint. It beats procrastination by making starting easy and fatigue impossible to accumulate.

Can I change the timer lengths?+

Yes โ€” open Settings to set work, short-break, and long-break durations from 1 to 120 minutes, and optionally auto-start the next session. Your preferences persist in your browser.

How many pomodoros should I do a day?+

Most students sustain 8โ€“12 quality pomodoros (3.5โ€“5 hours of true focus). The daily scoreboard counts them for you and resets each morning โ€” aim for consistency before volume.

Does the timer keep running in another tab?+

Yes โ€” the countdown is anchored to the clock, not the tab, and the remaining time is shown in the browser tab's title so you can see it from anywhere. A triple beep announces each transition.

What should I do during the 5-minute break?+

Stand, stretch, water, window โ€” anything except screens. The break exists to rest attention; scrolling spends the same attention you're trying to recover.
