Pomodoro Timer
Work in focused sprints with the Pomodoro Technique: 25 minutes of deep work followed by a 5-minute break. This timer runs the full cycle for you — it switches automatically between work and break, counts your completed sessions, and beeps whenever a phase ends.
How to Use the Pomodoro Timer
- Set your work and break lengths (the classic 25/5 is pre-filled, but any 1–180 minutes works).
- Press Start to begin a work session.
- When work ends, the timer beeps and switches to break automatically; when the break ends, it beeps again and starts the next work session.
- Use Pause any time — it freezes the clock, and pressing it again resumes.
- Reset clears the session counter and returns to the start.
Practical example
You need to write a report without distractions. Leave the defaults at 25 minutes of work and 5 minutes of rest, then press Start and write. After four beeps you will have finished two full work sessions with proper breaks — the counter shows 2. Many people do four work sessions, then take a longer 15–20 minute break (just type 20 into the break box for that round).
Key features and benefits
- Automatic phase switching: no need to watch the clock — work flows into break and back into work by itself.
- Session counter: see exactly how many focused sprints you have completed today.
- Custom lengths: prefer 50/10 deep-work blocks or 15/5 study bursts? Type any values you like.
- Audible alerts: a distinct beep marks every transition, so you can look away from the screen.
- Accurate timing: the timer is driven by the system clock, not by counting ticks, so it stays correct even if the tab is briefly throttled.
Limitations
The timer only runs while the page is open — closing the tab stops it and the counter is not saved between visits. If your computer sleeps, the display may freeze until it wakes, though the underlying timing stays roughly correct. As with any browser timer, heavy system load can delay the beep by a second or two. For strict exam timing, use a dedicated device timer instead.
