Work for 25 minutes with full focus. Take a 5-minute break. Repeat four times, then take a longer 15–20 minute break. That's the Pomodoro technique, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Francesco Cirillo used in the 1980s. The mechanism is deliberately simple — the point is enforced single-tasking and enforced recovery. Any longer than 25 minutes and attention drifts; shorter and you don't reach flow. Adjust to taste — some users prefer 45/10 or 90/20 intervals — but start with the standard 25/5/15 before customising.
Focus, short break, and long break durations are all adjustable. Set the 'long break every N' value to control how many focus sessions come between long breaks (default 4). The settings stick in the app while you're using it; close the tab and they reset to defaults. No cloud profile, no account, no 'sign in to customise' barrier.
Add what you're working on, tick off what's done, reorder as priorities shift. Your task list persists in the browser's localStorage — it survives page reloads and restarts. It does not sync across devices, and it never leaves your browser. That's a deliberate privacy trade-off; if you want cross-device task sync, dedicated apps exist and are excellent at it. This is for 'write it down, see it, tick it off'.
Space toggles play/pause, R resets the current phase, S skips to the next phase. Shortcuts are disabled while you're typing in the task input so they don't fire by accident. Faster than mouse-hunting for the start button every 25 minutes.
Every other web-based Pomodoro timer seems to want your email address and shows you ads for productivity coaches. This one doesn't. Your focus sessions are yours, your tasks stay in your browser, and the timer is always a click away.
Work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, repeat. After 4 focus sessions, take a longer 15-20 minute break. The idea from Francesco Cirillo is that short timed bursts keep you focused and the enforced breaks prevent burnout. The durations are adjustable — 25/5/15 is the standard but whatever works for you.
Yes, in your browser's localStorage. They persist across reloads and tabs on the same device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is shared across devices. Clear the list manually or wipe browser storage to reset.
Space toggles play/pause, R resets the current phase, S skips to the next phase. Shortcuts are disabled while you're typing in the task input so they don't interfere with entering tasks.
