Pomodoro Timer
100% PrivateProductivity ToolsRun the classic Pomodoro focus cycle, with work and break lengths you set.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
Keep this tab open to hear the end-of-phase beep. The clock itself is calculated from real timestamps, so if the tab sleeps it shows the correct remaining time when you come back, but the beep can only play once the browser wakes the tab.
- 1Leave the classic 25/5/15 lengths, or type your own and press Apply settings.
- 2Press Start and work until the beep ends the focus session.
- 3Take the short break the timer offers; after every 4th focus session the break is the long one.
- 4Use Pause to hold a phase, Reset phase to restart it, or Skip to move on without counting the session.
- 5Check the session log to see what you finished and when.
With the default settings, starting a focus session counts down from 25:00. When it ends, session 1 is logged and a 5:00 short break is offered. Sessions 2 and 3 end the same way. When session 4 ends, the timer offers the 15:00 long break instead, because a long break follows every 4 focus sessions.
- The countdown is calculated from real clock timestamps, so it stays accurate if the tab is throttled; the end-of-phase beep can only play when the browser wakes the tab, so a sleeping device can delay the sound.
- The tab title shows the remaining time while a phase runs, which helps if you switch to another tab but not another app.
- Settings and the session log last only for this visit; nothing is saved when you close the tab.
No. Change the focus, short break and long break lengths and how often the long break comes, then press Apply settings. Many people prefer 50/10 for deep work or 15/3 for getting started.
About this tool
The Pomodoro Timer runs the classic focus cycle in your browser: work for a set focus length, take a short break, and earn a longer break after a run of sessions. The defaults are the traditional 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of short break and 15 minutes of long break after every 4 sessions, and every length can be changed. A session log records each finished phase during your visit.
