25 Minute Pomodoro Timer

A 25 minute pomodoro timer that runs in the browser, auto-advances to the 5-minute break, and tracks your cycle through to the long break.

Pomodoro

25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break — repeated.

Focus
25:00
Cycle 1 of 4

Eyes on the task. Phone away.

Twenty-five minutes is the canonical focus block of the pomodoro technique — long enough to make meaningful progress, short enough that you can't get bored or distracted. This page is preconfigured: 25 minutes of work, 5 minutes of break, four cycles before a 15-minute long break. What sets a pomodoro apart from a plain timer is the rhythm. The 25-minute block is paired with a forced 5-minute break — not optional, not skipable in spirit. The break is where your brain consolidates what you just did, where your eyes get away from the screen, where the bathroom break, the water refill, and the brief stretch happen. Cumulative effects of these structured pauses outweigh any single lost minute. Use this page for: writing essays, debugging tricky bugs, prepping for an exam, drafting an email you've been avoiding, learning a new tool, going through a queue of tasks each ≤25 minutes. After four pomodoros (~2 hours of focused work plus 20 minutes of breaks), the long break is mandatory — go for a walk, the next round needs fresh attention.

FAQ

Why 25 minutes and 5 minutes?
Cirillo's original ratio. Most users find variations like 50/10 or 90/15 also work; if you'd like a different cadence, use the timer pages directly.
Does it work without an account?
Yes. No login, no signup, no data leaves your browser.
What if I get interrupted mid-pomodoro?
Cirillo's rule: either ignore (note it for later), or end the pomodoro and restart. Don't pause partway through.
Is the chime loud?
Three short 660 Hz tones at moderate volume. Adjust your tab volume in your browser if you need louder.
