About this Pomodoro timer
The Pomodoro Technique uses timed focus blocks (often 25 minutes) followed by short breaks. After a set number
of pomodoros, you take a longer break. This helps reduce procrastination, improves concentration, and makes
progress feel measurable.
This tool runs entirely in your browser (no signup). It supports custom session lengths, long breaks, auto-start,
sound and voice announcements, a task list with estimates, and simple stats to track your focus time.
Pomodoro timer FAQ
What Pomodoro timings should I use?
The classic pattern is 25 minutes work, 5 minutes short break, with a 15–20 minute long break after 4 pomodoros.
But you can adjust timings for deep work, revision sessions, or lighter admin tasks.
Will this keep accurate time if the tab is inactive?
Yes — the timer uses real timestamps rather than relying on animation frames, so it catches up correctly if the
browser throttles timers in the background.
Does the voice feature support English (UK)?
If your device offers an English (UK) voice, this page will prefer it by default. You can also choose a specific
voice from the dropdown.
Is anything uploaded when I add tasks or a background?
No. Everything runs locally. If you save a background or tasks, they’re stored only in this browser’s local
storage and stay on your device.
