Accurate in background tabs
The countdown uses a real end timestamp, so switching tabs or briefly sleeping the device does not accumulate interval drift.

How it works
Focus deeply, then recover on purpose.
The timer provides a repeatable boundary for attention. The value comes from choosing one task, respecting the break, and returning with a little more energy.
- 01
Name the focus
Write one clear intention, adjust the timer if needed, and start a protected block of focused work.
- 02
Take the break
When focus ends, step away for a short break. After the chosen number of rounds, take a longer break.
- 03
Build a sustainable rhythm
Use the daily goal and private history to track consistent effort without turning every minute into a performance metric.
A dependable focus timer
Flexible enough for your work, restrained enough to help.
Your preferred cadence
Set focus, short-break, and long-break lengths, choose the long-break interval, and decide which phases should begin automatically.
Helpful, optional alerts

Pomodoro questions
Intervals, accuracy, automation, notifications, and privacy.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?+
It is a time-management method that alternates focused work intervals with short breaks, usually adding a longer break after several focus sessions.
Does a Pomodoro have to be 25 minutes?+
No. Twenty-five minutes is the familiar default, but this timer lets you choose focus blocks from 1 to 120 minutes and customize both break lengths.
Will the timer stay accurate in another tab?+
Yes. It calculates the remaining time from a fixed end timestamp instead of assuming every interval callback fires exactly on time.
Can breaks and focus sessions start automatically?+
Yes. Auto-start is controlled separately for breaks and focus sessions, so you can automate either, both, or neither.
Where is my Pomodoro history saved?+
Completed focus sessions and settings are stored in local storage in this browser. Toolkit does not upload your session names or history.
Why are desktop notifications unavailable?+
Your browser may not support notifications, or permission may have been denied. Permission can usually be changed in the browser's site settings.
