Pomodoro timer

How it works

Optionally type the task you are working on, then press Start or the space bar.
Work until the signal sounds, then take the short break the timer starts for you.
After four focus sessions enjoy a long break. Your sessions and focus minutes are counted per day.

Sounds, notifications and the tab title

Each phase ends with a signal generated in your browser, so nothing is downloaded. Choose a bell, chime, beep, digital alarm or wood block, set the volume, mute it and test it. If you allow browser notifications, you also get a message when the tab is hidden; the permission is only requested when you tick the option. The remaining time is shown in the tab title so you can see it from any other tab.

Accurate timing, keyboard and privacy

The timer stores the moment a phase ends and compares it with the clock, so it does not drift when the browser slows down hidden tabs, and it even survives a reload. Space starts or pauses, R resets and N skips, and screen readers hear when a phase starts or ends. Settings, your current task and daily statistics stay in this browser only.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timer keep running in a background tab?

Yes. It counts down to a fixed end time rather than adding up ticks, so the time stays correct even when the browser slows hidden tabs. The signal may sound a moment late in some browsers, but the next phase always starts from the right time.

Why is there no sound?

Browsers only allow sound after you have interacted with the page, so press Start or Test sound once. Also check that Mute is off, the volume is up and the tab is not muted.

Where are my statistics stored?

In the local storage of this browser on this device, together with your settings. Nothing is sent to a server. Clearing site data or pressing Reset statistics removes them.
