Pomodoro Timer

Stay on Track with This Pomodoro Timer

What it does and how it helps

If you've ever lost track of time while working or taken a "quick" break that turned into an hour, you're not alone. This Pomodoro Timer is here to help you break your day into focused, productive chunks with built-in breaks - Just like the popular Pomodoro Technique recommends.

It’s not just a countdown clock. This timer helps you structure your workflow, switch between work and rest, and gently reminds you when it’s time to move on. You can customize the timing to suit your pace, keep tabs on how much you've accomplished, and even automate your sessions if you prefer a hands-off approach.

Customize it to match your workflow

Flexible settings for real life

You’re not locked into a rigid routine here. The timer starts with the classic 25-minute focus and 5-minute break model, but you can tweak it however you like. Whether you need longer focus blocks or shorter breaks, the settings panel lets you:

• Set your preferred focus duration (1–60 minutes)
• Choose how long your short and long breaks should be
• Decide after how many sessions a longer break kicks in

Easy controls at your fingertips

The Start, Pause, Skip, and Reset buttons are straightforward. You’ll also see your current session number, how many you’ve finished, and what type of session you’re in - Focus Time, Short Break, or Long Break. It even displays a countdown with a colored ring that updates in real time, so you can keep an eye on your progress without interrupting your flow.

Track your progress as you go

Stats that actually mean something

The “Today’s Progress” section gives you a quick breakdown of how you’re doing. You’ll see:

• How many Pomodoros you’ve completed
• Total focus time in hours and minutes

This information resets each day and gets saved in your browser, so you can check back anytime without logging in or signing up for anything.
