ONE TASK. A REAL BREAK. A FRESH START.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. Its familiar starting rhythm is 25 minutes on one task, followed by a 5-minute break. After four focus sessions, take a longer break of 15–30 minutes.
How to use this Pomodoro timer
Choose Focus, write one thing you want to move forward, and press Start focusing. Use settings to set each session to 1–180 minutes, or try a suggested rhythm below. Pause for interruptions and resume when you’re ready. Completed focus sessions count toward your daily total; skipped sessions don’t.

LESS OVERWHELM. MORE MOMENTUM.
Good work has a rhythm.
Francesco Cirillo began with a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. “Pomodoro” means tomato in Italian. Here’s a simple way to try his focus-and-break rhythm.
Give it a little time.
Start with 25 minutes. Silence notifications, close extra tabs, and stay with your task. Jot down distracting thoughts for later.
PROTECT YOUR ATTENTIONStep away. Come back.
Take 5 minutes to stretch, get water, or look outside. After four focus sessions, enjoy a longer 15–30 minute break.
REST IS PART OF THE RHYTHMFor the work that needs you.
Writing, coding, reading, or untangling a spreadsheet: give demanding work a protected block on your calendar.
Leave room for real life.
A colleague needs you? Pause the timer. After the interruption, write your next step and begin again. Progress doesn’t need a perfect day.
Make the break a real break.
Stand up and let your eyes rest. An inbox or social feed can wait. Return with a fresh start, instead of one more open tab.
A FEW THINGS TO KNOWYour time.
Your time.
Your way.
Start small. Adjust as you go.
Does it have to be exactly 25 minutes?
No. Twenty-five minutes is the classic starting point. Try 15 when starting feels difficult, or a longer block when your work needs room. Use the settings to choose whole minutes from 1 to 180 for any mode.
What if I’m in the middle of a great idea?
Finish a sensible stopping point and leave a note about what comes next. Use the timer to support your work; adjust the next session if a longer block suits you.
Will the timer work if I switch tabs?
The countdown uses elapsed time, so it catches up when you return to the page. Browsers can delay sounds in background tabs or while a device sleeps. Keep this page open for the most reliable end-of-session alert.
Where are my task and progress saved?
On this browser, on this device, using local storage. Your timer, task and progress aren’t sent to a server. They don’t sync across devices, and clearing browser data removes them. If browser storage is blocked, the timer still works while the page stays open.
What happens when a session finishes?
A completed focus session adds to today’s total and prepares a break. Every fourth focus session prepares a long break. By default you start the next session yourself; turn on automatic continuation in settings if you prefer. Skipped and reset sessions don’t count.
