Pomodoro Timer
Build a steady focus rhythm with work sessions, short breaks, and long breaks.
This Pomodoro timer helps you work in clear focus blocks. It starts with the classic 25-minute work session, 5-minute short break, and 15-minute long break, but you can adjust every duration to match your routine. After every four completed work sessions, the timer automatically schedules a long break. The browser tab title updates while the timer is running, which makes it useful for writing, studying, admin work, practice, and distraction-resistant sessions.
