Pomodoro Timer

Focus that fits in a browser tab

The Pomodoro Technique turns a vague "I'll get to it" into a clear, repeatable rhythm: a sprint of deep work, a short reset, and a longer break once you've banked a few rounds. This timer handles the cycle for you — switching phases, counting down and alerting you — so you can keep your attention on the task instead of the clock.

How to use it

1. Press Start to begin a focus sprint.
2. When the beep sounds, take the break it switches to.
3. Use Skip to jump ahead or Reset to start the cycle over.
4. Open Settings to tailor the lengths to how you work.

Why it works

• Lower the barrier — committing to 25 minutes is easy.
• Beat distraction — a running timer is a gentle nudge to stay on task.
• Avoid burnout — breaks are built in, not an afterthought.
• Track effort — rounds give you a sense of a productive day.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

It's a time-management method where you work in focused sprints — classically 25 minutes — separated by short breaks, with a longer break after every four sprints. The structure helps you start tasks and avoid burnout.

Can I change the focus and break lengths?

Yes. Set your own focus, short-break and long-break durations and how many rounds before a long break. Your preferences are saved in your browser and restored next time.

Does it alert me when a sprint ends?

Yes. A short beep plays at every transition and the on-screen phase label updates, so you know when to take a break or get back to work even if the tab isn't focused.

Is my data private?

Completely. Settings live only in your browser's localStorage and nothing is ever uploaded.
