Four focused sprints, then a real break
It’s a 20-minute timer on steroids — built to help you study or work without procrastinating. The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into short, deliberate intervals so focus stays sharp and rest stays guilt-free.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused 25-minute intervals called pomodoros, each followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after every four rounds. The short, fixed sessions make starting easier and keep concentration fresh.

The science
Why ~20 minutes is the sweet spot
Your attention span — the ability to concentrate on a single task — is estimated to last around 20 minutes. It’s natural to drift in search of something new, but you can refresh that focus by giving it a short, deliberate reset. That’s the whole idea behind the Pomodoro Technique.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. You work in focused 25-minute intervals called pomodoros, each followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after every four rounds. The short, fixed sessions make starting easier and keep concentration fresh. This timer runs the whole cycle for you — focus, short breaks and the long break — and counts every pomodoro you complete.
Make a to-do list and set the timer for 20–25 minutes. Focus on one task until it rings, then check off a pomodoro. Take a 5-minute break — and after four pomodoros, take a longer 15-minute break.
Keep breaks light and un-draining: stretch, step into the sun, play a favourite song, make a drink, eat some fruit, do a breathing exercise, or tidy your desk.
Yes. It works as an installable web app in Chrome, Firefox and Safari — add it to your home screen on mobile, or install it from the address bar on desktop. No download store required.
It’s free, and everything is included: lofi music with its own volume, custom intervals, per-task time tracking, challenges and rewards, auto-start and the pop-out mini timer. There is no paid tier and nothing locked.
Yes — open Settings → Background → Custom and upload up to 8 of your own photos, then switch between them anytime. Images are optimized and stored only in your browser: they never leave your device.
Yes, and it’s free. Mark a task as focused and the running timer’s minutes accrue to it automatically, rolling up through its parent tasks — so a project shows its true total across every subtask. Tracked time is clamped to the session so it can never over-count, and it survives a page refresh.
Yes. The countdown runs in a Web Worker holding a wall-clock deadline, so background-tab throttling can’t make it drift. The deadline is saved the moment you press start: refresh or reopen the page and it resumes exactly where it was, and a session that finished while the tab was closed is still credited.
Yes — in Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge) you can pop the timer out into a floating picture-in-picture mini window that stays on top while you work elsewhere. It shows the live progress ring and time, scales crisply to any size, and its Start/Pause button drives the real timer.
No account, no signup, no login. There is no backend at all: tasks, streaks, settings and background photos are stored in your browser (localStorage and IndexedDB) and sync across your own tabs. The app installs as a PWA, so the timer, tasks and streaks keep working offline — and because analytics is cookieless, there’s no cookie banner.
