Pomodoro Timer (25 Minutes)
The Pomodoro Technique in one click: a focused 25-minute work sprint with an alarm at the end. Work, hear the bell, then take a 5-minute break and repeat.
What is a Pomodoro Timer?
A Pomodoro timer runs a 25-minute focus sprint and sounds an alarm at the end, cueing a short break. This one is pre-set to 25 minutes so you can start immediately. The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, breaks work into 25-minute intervals called "pomodoros" separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer 15-30 minute break after every four. It runs accurately in your browser and needs no signup.
