Pomodoro Timer

When to use Pomodoro Timer

You've been meaning to write that report for three hours and keep getting pulled into Slack. The Pomodoro method makes focus feel finite: you're not sitting down to work indefinitely, you're committing to one 25-minute round. Set your work and break durations — the defaults are 25 minutes on, 5 minutes off, with a 15-minute break after four rounds — start the timer, and let the browser notification tell you when to switch. If you step away for coffee mid-round, the timer keeps ticking accurately because it uses timestamps rather than counting ticks. Useful for exam cramming, long coding tasks, essay drafts, or any project that keeps getting derailed. The session count shows how many rounds you've completed, which turns out to be quietly motivating.

• Break a three-hour report into focused 25-minute writing rounds
• Cram for a midterm with timed study blocks and forced breaks
• Get through a long coding task without losing track of time

Set your work and break durations, start the timer, and let the alarm tell you when to switch. Useful for exam cramming, writing sessions, long coding tasks, or any project that keeps getting derailed by distractions. Everything runs in your browser — no account, no tracking, just the timer.
