About this tool
The Pomodoro Technique is brutally simple: commit to 25 minutes of single-task focus, then take a real 5-minute break — no half-working. After four rounds, take a longer break. The short, defended interval beats vague "work for a few hours" plans because starting is easy and distraction has a deadline.
This timer keeps the countdown in the tab title (visible from other tabs), beeps when time is up, and can send a browser notification. Sessions reset when you close the tab — every day starts at zero, as it should.
FAQ
Why 25 minutes?
Short enough that starting feels easy, long enough to get real work done. The exact number is not sacred — the commitment to single-tasking is what matters.
Do notifications work in the background?
Yes — allow notifications when prompted, and the timer alerts you even from another tab. The countdown also shows in the tab title.
What counts as a session?
Only completed focus rounds of 20+ minutes increment the counter. Breaks and abandoned rounds do not.
Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?
No — it is a page timer, not an account service. Keep the tab open (pinning it works well).
