How to use the Pomodoro timer

  1. Choose the 25/5, 50/10, or 15/5 preset, or customize every session length.
  2. Start focusing, pause when needed, and listen for the alert when the timer changes to a break.
  3. After the chosen number of focus sessions, take a long break. Auto-start can begin each next stage for you.

Your timer is saved in this browser and restores from its original deadline after a reload. It does not sync across devices.

How should I use 25-minute focus and 5-minute breaks?

A common pattern uses 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after four focus sessions. Treat it as a starting point; longer tasks may suit a 50/10 cycle.

Pomodoro timer or countdown timer?

A Pomodoro timer manages repeating focus and break sessions and counts completed focus sessions. A countdown timer handles one duration and is simpler for cooking, exercise, or one-off reminders.

Pomodoro timer FAQ

Does the timer continue in another tab?

Yes. It calculates remaining time from the real deadline, although sleep mode and background restrictions can delay an alert.

Do I have to focus for 25 minutes?

No. The 25/5 cycle is a starting point, and every session length is customizable.

Does skipping focus count as a completed session?

No. Only a naturally completed focus timer increases the session count.

Does fullscreen keep the screen awake?

Supported browsers request a screen wake lock in fullscreen, subject to device and power-saving settings.
