About Pomodoro Timer
A free Pomodoro timer that helps you work in focused sprints. Set your own focus, short break, and long break lengths, then hit start. It counts down in MM:SS, automatically cycles from focus into a short break, and gives you a longer break after every four focus sessions, all while tracking how many you have completed.
Everything runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account needed. The timer keeps ticking accurately even in a background tab, and your remaining time shows right in the tab title so you can glance at your progress from anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this Pomodoro timer free to use?
- Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up, no ads, and no limits. Use it as many times as you like for studying, work, or focused deep-work sessions.
- Is my data uploaded or stored anywhere?
- No. The timer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, and no timings, settings, or session history are uploaded or saved externally.
- What is the Pomodoro Technique?
- It is a time-management method where you work in focused intervals (traditionally 25 minutes) separated by short breaks, taking a longer break after every four intervals. It helps sustain concentration and reduce burnout.
- Can I change the focus and break lengths?
- Yes. You can set custom focus, short break, and long break durations from 1 to 180 minutes. The classic defaults are 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute short break, and a 15-minute long break.
- Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
- Yes. It counts down from an absolute finish time, so it stays accurate even when the tab is in the background, and your remaining time appears in the browser tab title.
- What do the Start, Pause, Skip, and Reset buttons do?
- Start begins or resumes the countdown, Pause freezes it, Skip jumps immediately to the next phase in the cycle, and Reset returns you to a fresh focus session and clears the completed-session counter.
