Free Pomodoro Timer — Focus & Break Cycles

A free Pomodoro timer runs entirely in your browser: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute short break, and a 15-minute long break after every 4 focus sessions. Customize the durations, start, pause, or reset, and get a sound plus optional browser notification when each session ends. Completed pomodoros are tracked for your current session — no signup, no backend.

Use the classic Pomodoro technique without installing an app. Set focus, short-break, and long-break lengths (defaults 25 / 5 / 15 minutes), then Start to begin a countdown driven by setInterval and Date.now(). When a session ends, a Web Audio beep plays and — if you allow it — a Web Notifications alert appears. After every four completed focus sessions you get a long break. Track how many pomodoros you finish in the current session. Free, no signup, fully client-side.

Durations (minutes)

Classic Pomodoro: 25 min focus, 5 min short break, then a 15 min long break after every 4 focus sessions. Sound plays via the Web Audio API; optional alerts use the Notifications API — both stay on your device.

Runs 100% in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

The countdown uses setInterval with Date.now() for drift-resistant remaining time. Session-end alerts use the Web Audio API for a beep and the Web Notifications API for optional desktop alerts. Phase logic advances focus → short break, or focus → long break after every four completed focus sessions. Everything stays on your device — no server calls.

How to Use Pomodoro Timer

  1. Optionally adjust Focus, Short break, and Long break durations in minutes
  2. Click Start to begin the current phase — Pause or Reset anytime
  3. Allow browser notifications if you want an alert when a session ends (sound always plays)
  4. After each focus session ends, take the short break — every 4th focus session unlocks the long break
  5. Watch Completed this session to track finished pomodoros; use Skip to jump phases without counting a complete

When Would You Use This?

Students blocking study time into 25-minute sprints with enforced breaks stay focused without watching the clock — the sound and notification pull them back when it is time to switch.

Remote workers deep in coding or writing use custom longer focus blocks and still get a long break after four cycles so they do not skip rest entirely.

Anyone who wants a lightweight Pomodoro without another app or account opens this page, hits Start, and keeps the tab handy while they work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Pomodoro timer free to use?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no login, no payment ever.
Do I need to create an account?
No account needed. Open the tool and start a focus session immediately.
Is my data safe?
Everything runs in your browser. Your timer state is never uploaded to our servers.
How does the long break work?
After every four completed focus sessions you get a long break instead of a short one. Skipping a focus session does not count toward that cycle.
Why didn't I get a browser notification?
Your browser must allow notifications for this site. Keep “Browser notification when a session ends” checked and accept the permission prompt when you first press Start. Sound still plays via the Web Audio API even if notifications are denied.
Does this work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, timing, sound, and (if already permitted) notifications work fully offline.
