Pomodoro timer

Work in focused blocks with short breaks between them and a longer break every few rounds. The timer follows the system clock, so it keeps time in a background tab.

FocusSessions done: 0

Changes apply from the next phase; a running phase keeps its length.

About the pomodoro timer

A pomodoro timer for working in focused blocks: by default 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute break after every fourth session. You can change every length. It advances between phases on its own, counts completed sessions, beeps at each change and shows the remaining time in the browser tab title.

How to use it

  1. Set the focus, short break and long break lengths, and how often the long break comes.
  2. Press Start to begin a focus session.
  3. When a phase ends you hear a beep and the next one starts automatically; untick the auto-start box to start each one yourself.
  4. Use Skip to end the current phase early, or Reset to go back to the first focus session.

Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo: work on one task for a fixed block (traditionally 25 minutes), take a short break, and take a longer break after four blocks.
Can I see the time left without keeping the tab open in front?
Yes. While the timer runs, the remaining time and the current phase appear in the tab title, and you can turn on notifications to be told when each phase ends.
Does a skipped focus session count?
Yes. Skipping a focus session counts it as completed and moves you to the break. Skipping a break does not add to the count.
Are my settings saved?
No. The settings reset when you reload the page, and nothing is stored or sent anywhere.
