Pomodoro Timer
Focus with the Pomodoro technique — 25-minute work sprints and short breaks.
The Pomodoro Technique is deceptively simple: work in focused 25-minute sprints, take a 5-minute break, and after four sprints take a longer 15–30 minute rest. The fixed intervals turn an intimidating task into a series of manageable pushes, and the enforced breaks keep you from burning out — which is why it's one of the most durable productivity methods around.
This timer runs the full cycle for you: focus sessions, short breaks, and a long break every fourth round, switching automatically and counting your completed sessions. Start it in a tab and let the rhythm carry your work.
