Pomodoro Focus Timer: Work in focused 25 minute sessions with short breaks, and a long break after every four. Track how much deep work you do each day and what you worked on. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser. How to use it: 1) optionally type what you are working on. Your open to-do tasks appear as suggestions; 2) press Start and focus until the alarm. Breaks can start automatically; 3) check your focus minutes, sessions and 7 day chart, and change lengths in Timer settings. The Pomodoro Technique splits work into focus sessions, usually 25 minutes, separated by 5 minute short breaks. After four sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.
How the Pomodoro timer works
The Pomodoro Technique splits work into focus sessions, usually 25 minutes, separated by 5 minute short breaks. After four sessions you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. Short, timed sessions make it easier to start, reduce distractions and help you notice how long tasks really take.
Accurate timing
The timer stores the exact end time and compares it with the clock, instead of counting ticks. So it stays correct when you switch tabs, lock your phone or reload the page. The remaining time also shows in the browser tab title.

Limitations
Phones may pause web pages in the background, so the alarm can sound when you return rather than exactly on time, although the recorded session is still correct. Sessions you stop early are saved only if they lasted at least one minute.
Pomodoro Timer FAQs
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo. You work on one task for a focused session, usually 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break. After four sessions you take a longer break. Timed sessions help you start tasks, avoid distractions and keep steady energy through the day.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. The timer saves the exact end time, so it stays accurate in background tabs and even after a reload. Some phones pause pages in the background, so the alarm may play when you come back, but your session time and stats stay correct.
Can I change the focus and break lengths?
Yes. Open Timer settings to set focus, short break and long break lengths in minutes, how many sessions come before a long break, and your daily goal. Presets such as 50/10 for deep work and 15/3 for quick tasks are one tap away.
Where is my focus history saved?
Sessions are saved on this device with the time, length and task name. Sign in to a free account to sync them to your other devices. You can export the full history as a CSV file or clear it at any time.
