Pomodoro Timer

Francesco Cirillo created the Pomodoro Technique in the late 1980s, which is an uncomplicated way to manage time. Working in 25-minute pomodoros with 5-minute breaks is the standard practice. Every four pomodoros, you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. This method is advantageous as it prevents your mind from being stale, and the time constraints on each interval encourage you to stay focused and avoid delaying tasks.

This service is completely free, with no strings attached. You won't need to sign up or create an account, and there's no paywall to limit your access. Every feature is available to use right away. Most Pomodoro apps will lock certain features, like task management or statistics, behind a paywall. Not here, though - you can just open the page and get started with a Pomodoro session.

Yes. All your tasks, completed pomodoros, and daily statistics are stored locally in your browser via localStorage. Nothing is uploaded to any server. If you clear your browser data, the stats will be reset - so export the JSON backup occasionally if you want a long-term archive.

Yes. Open the settings panel to change the work duration (1-90 minutes), short break (1-30 minutes), long break (5-60 minutes), and the number of sessions before a long break (2-10). All settings are saved automatically and persist across sessions.

An AI chatbot can suggest the technique and explain it, but it cannot actually run a real-time countdown with sound notifications, track which task you are working on, save your statistics across days, or pop a browser notification when 25 minutes are up. The Pomodoro method requires precise timing, persistent state, and interruption alerts - things only a real tool can do. AI descriptions of the technique are fine; the actual timer needs to be a tool.

The countdown continues in the background using the browser's setInterval engine, so the timer keeps accurate time even when you switch tabs. Audio alerts still play when the session ends. For browser notifications, you can grant the site permission once and the system will ping you even when the tab is in the background.

Yes. Add any number of tasks and mark one as the active task. Each completed pomodoro is attributed to the active task, so you can see how many pomodoros you spent on each piece of work. When you finish a task, mark it done and pick the next one.

The streak is the number of consecutive days you completed at least one pomodoro. The weekly view shows a 7-day bar chart of focus time per day. The total shows your all-time pomodoros and focus hours. All calculations are local - no data ever leaves your device.
