Pomodoro Timer

A Pomodoro timer that alternates 25 minutes of focus with 5-minute breaks and adds a long break after every four focus sessions. Use it to split study or work into short, timed blocks.

How to use

1. Press "Start" to begin a "Focus" session; the time left shows as a ring and in large numbers.
2. When a session ends, a sound plays and the next one becomes "Short break" or "Long break". To continue without pressing anything, switch on "Start the next session automatically".
3. Under "Settings", change the three lengths in minutes and "Long break every".
4. To be alerted while you are in another tab, press "Turn on notifications" and allow them in the browser.

How it works

• The defaults are 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute short break and a 15-minute long break after every 4 focus sessions. The dots in the ring show progress toward the long break.
• While the timer runs, the tab title shows the time left and the screen stays on. Shortcuts: Space to start or pause, R to restart the session.
• Only completed focus sessions go into the "Focus log", which is saved only in this browser on this device. Sessions passed with "Skip" are not counted.

Questions and answers

What is the Pomodoro technique?

A time management method: work for 25 minutes, rest for 5, and take a longer break of about 15 to 30 minutes after four rounds. The defaults of this timer follow it.

Can I use 50-minute focus sessions?

Yes. Enter 50 in "Focus" under "Settings". A focus session can be 1 to 180 minutes long.

Does the timer stop in another tab?

No. It counts toward a fixed end time, so it finishes on time in a background tab. With notifications on, you are alerted then.

Can I see how many sessions I finished today?

The "Focus log" shows today's focus sessions and focus time, with bars for the last 7 days. "Clear log" deletes it.
