Free Online Pomodoro Timer

Master your time with this customizable online Pomodoro timer. Whether you're studying, coding, or writing, the Pomodoro Technique helps you beat procrastination and stay focused for longer.

How the Pomodoro Technique Works

The concept is simple: break your work into focused intervals (usually 25 minutes) separated by short breaks. This rhythm keeps your brain fresh and prevents burnout.

  1. Pick a task: Use the task list above to define your goal.
  2. Focus for 25 minutes: Hit Start and work until the timer rings. No distractions!
  3. Take a short break: Step away for 5 minutes. Stretch, grab water, or breathe.
  4. Repeat: After 4 cycles, take a long break (15–30 minutes) to fully recharge.
