Pomodoro Timer

What is the Pomodoro technique?

The Pomodoro technique splits work into focused intervals, traditionally 25 minutes, separated by short breaks. Each completed interval is called a pomodoro. Working in blocks keeps concentration high and prevents burnout.

How does this timer work?

Set the work and break minutes you want, then press Start. The timer counts down each phase, plays a short beep when one ends, and moves automatically to the next one. Completed focus sessions are counted on the screen.

What cycle should I use?

• The classic cycle: 25 minutes work, 5 minutes break.
• A longer rhythm: 45 minutes work, 15 minutes break, for deep tasks.
• A sprint: 15 minutes work, 5 minutes break, for shallow or tiring chores.

Why do short breaks help?

Stepping away briefly lets your brain consolidate what you learned and return refreshed. Regular small breaks reduce fatigue, making it easier to keep a steady pace for the whole day.

Does the timer need internet?

No. Countdown and the sound signal run entirely in your browser. Close the page and the cycle stops, but as long as the tab stays open the timer is accurate.
