Pomodoro Timer
A free online Pomodoro timer with 25-minute focus sessions, breaks, and an end-of-session chime.
About this tool
The Pomodoro Technique is a simple time-management method: work in focused 25-minute sprints separated by short breaks. This online Pomodoro timer runs the cycle for you — focus, short break, and a longer break after a few rounds — with a gentle chime when each one ends.
How the Pomodoro Technique works
- Pick one task and start a 25-minute focus session.
- Work until the timer rings, then take a 5-minute short break.
- After about four focus sessions, take a longer 15-minute break.
- Repeat. The ticking deadline keeps procrastination at bay.
Why it works
Short, time-boxed sprints make starting easier and protect your attention from distractions — you only have to focus until the next break. The breaks prevent burnout and help information settle. The session counter here lets you see how many focus blocks you've completed today.
The timer runs entirely in your browser with no account. Keep the tab open while you work. Need a plain countdown or stopwatch instead? Use the Online Timer & Stopwatch.
