What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It uses a tomato timer (pomodoro is Italian for tomato) to break work into focused intervals — traditionally 25 minutes — separated by short breaks. This productivity timer cycle helps students, developers, writers, and remote workers maintain deep focus while preventing burnout. After four focus sessions, you take a longer 15-20 minute break to fully recharge. Learn more about the Pomodoro Technique.
How to Use This Online Pomodoro Timer
1. Start a Focus Session
Click the play button or press Space to begin a 25-minute focus session. The circular progress ring shows your remaining time. This pomodoro tracker keeps you accountable — minimize distractions and focus on a single task until the timer rings.
2. Take Regular Breaks
When the timer completes, take a 5-minute short break. After every 4 focus sessions, try a 15-minute long break. The session dots track where you are in the cycle, and every duration can be adjusted in Settings.
3. Track Your Tasks
Add tasks to your list and check them off as you complete them. Export the current task list and today's totals as JSON or CSV for your own backup or spreadsheet log.
4. Customize Your Experience
Adjust focus and break durations from 1 to 120 minutes. Choose from 12 alert sounds with adjustable volume and repeat count, enable ambient white noise during focus sessions, and use keyboard shortcuts for hands-free operation. Press F for fullscreen focus mode — ideal for deep work sessions. See the full guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pomodoros should I do per day?
There is no universal target. Choose a number of sessions your schedule can support, then judge the result and whether you can repeat the routine without exhausting the rest of your day.
Can I change the timer duration?
Yes. Click the settings gear icon to adjust focus time (1-120 minutes), short break (1-30 minutes), and long break (1-60 minutes). Some people prefer 50/10 cycles for deep work or 15/3 cycles for quick tasks.
What should I do during breaks?
Step away from your screen. Stretch, walk around, grab water, or look out a window. Avoid checking social media or email — the goal is to let your brain rest so you return refreshed for the next focus session.
Is this timer free to use?
The timer is free to use with no account or premium feature gate. The site may show clearly separated advertising to fund hosting and development, but ads are not part of the timer controls.
Does it work on mobile?
