Pomodoro timer for study and work

Struggling to concentrate with your phone buzzing? The Pomodoro technique breaks work into short, fully focused sessions with planned breaks. This Pomodoro timer runs the cycle for you: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer break after every four sessions, with a soft chime at each switch. It counts today's focus sessions so you can see your progress — popular with students preparing for board exams, JEE, NEET and UPSC, and with anyone doing deep work.

How to use it

  1. Write what you'll work on, then press Start.
  2. Focus on just that task until the chime.
  3. Take the break properly, then start the next session.

Example

Four Pomodoros of 25 minutes with 5-minute breaks, then a 15-minute long break, take 2 hours 10 minutes and give you 100 minutes of real, focused study. Three such rounds in a day is over 5 hours of deep work. Count down to your exam with the exam countdown, or use the simple countdown timer for one-off timings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Pomodoro technique?
A time-management method created by Francesco Cirillo: work with full focus for 25 minutes (one “pomodoro”), take a 5-minute break, and after four pomodoros take a longer 15–30 minute break. Short, timed sprints make it easier to start and to resist distractions.
Is 25 minutes the right length for studying?
25/5 is the classic setting, but many students prefer 45/10 or 50/10 for deep study once they are used to it. Change the lengths in the settings — what matters is focusing completely during each session.
What should I do during breaks?
Step away from the screen: stretch, drink water, walk around or look out of a window. Avoid social media — it makes it harder to get back into focus.
Does it count my sessions?
Yes. Completed focus sessions for today are counted and remembered in this browser, so you can see how much focused time you put in.
