About the Free Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Technique was created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, and it is still one of the simplest ways to beat procrastination. You pick one task, set the timer for 25 minutes, and work on that task alone until the timer rings. Then you take a short break, step away from the screen, and start the next session. After four sessions you take a longer break.

The short sessions make big jobs feel manageable, and the regular breaks keep your focus sharp instead of letting it fade. This timer runs entirely in your browser, so it works on any computer, tablet or phone without installing an app. Keep the tab open while you work — the timer counts your completed sessions and switches you to a break when a focus session ends.

How to Use the Pomodoro Timer

1. Click Start and work on a single task for 25 minutes until the timer ends.
2. When the session finishes, take a 5-minute break, then click Start for the next focus session.
3. After four focus sessions, the timer switches to a 15-minute long break. Click Reset at any time to start the current mode again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

It is a time-management method that splits work into 25-minute focus sessions, called pomodoros, separated by short breaks. After four sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. The regular rhythm helps you start tasks, stay focused and avoid burnout.

How long is a focus session?

25 minutes, which is the classic Pomodoro length. That is long enough to make real progress and short enough to stay focused. If you need a break first, click Short Break 5 min or Long Break 15 min to switch modes.

When do I take a long break?

After four completed focus sessions. The timer counts your sessions at the bottom of the card and switches to the 15-minute long break automatically when the fourth session ends.

Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?

No. The timer runs in this browser tab, so keep the tab open while you work. If you close it or refresh the page, the timer and the session count start again from zero.
