Pomodoro Timer is a free productivity tool that runs the focus-and-break method entirely in your browser, with nothing uploaded. Set your own focus length, short and long breaks and how often the long break occurs; it cycles automatically, alerts you between phases, and saves your settings and today's completed session count locally.

What this tool does

Custom focus and break lengths

Focus, short break and long break lengths are all yours to set, so the classic 25 and 5 is a starting point rather than a rule.

Automatic short and long breaks

Breaks start on their own when a session ends, and a long break arrives after the number of rounds you choose.

Daily focus session count

Completed sessions for today are counted, which is a more honest measure of a working day than hours at the desk.

Sound and flash between phases

A sound and a flash mark each change of phase, so you notice the switch without watching the clock.

Saved locally, works offline

Your settings and today's count are saved in this browser, so it works with no connection and nothing is uploaded.

Can I change the timings?
