Pomodoro timer by LogicFire.app

Without a link’s own lengths it runs the classic cycle: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break and, after the fourth focus, a 15-minute break. A link can set other lengths, and the line above the buttons says which ones are running.

Start turns the grey disc blue for a focus, and it shrinks clockwise towards zero at the top. Then it turns orange for a break, and each phase after that begins by itself. A mark fills as each focus ends, and after the long break a new set begins with the marks cleared.

A quiet chime plays when a focus ends, and the focus timer’s break alarm when a break ends. Any press stops the alarm, and that press never pauses, skips or resets, so the next focus carries on. Both sounds follow Sound in the focus timer’s Settings on this browser, and nothing plays until you have pressed something on the page. On a phone the chime can’t play while the screen is locked, so keep the timer on screen if you want to hear it.

Skip ends the phase now and moves on; a skipped focus still fills its mark, with no sound. Reset puts the phase back to its full length and stops it, and a second Reset in a row goes back to Focus 1 with the marks cleared. Press Start or Space to begin, and Pause or Space to stop the clock. S skips, R resets and F fills the screen, where the browser allows it; none of the keys act while a box below has the focus.

Once the page has loaded, nothing you do here is kept or sent, with an account or without. The one exception is the light or dark button and theme wheel at the top: what you pick there stays in your look cookie. Reload the page or close the tab and the set starts over.

The Pomodoro Technique is a way of working in timed stretches. It asks for one task at a time, worked on until the time is up, then a short break when it rings. After four of those focuses comes a longer break, and the count starts again.

Some people prefer longer stretches, such as 50 minutes of focus and a 10-minute break. Links that set it up, below, makes a link with those lengths or any others.

Pomodoro® is a registered trademark. The Pomodoro Technique is Francesco Cirillo’s method, and this timer isn’t connected with him.

The focus timer uses the same disc and keeps each run and how long it lasted. It can let a good run go on past the length you picked, such as 25 minutes: you choose Overflow when it asks, the first time a run reaches zero, or later in its Settings, under Timer.
