Frequently asked questions

How do I use this 25 minute timer?

Press the play button to start the 25-minute countdown. The time left also shows in the browser tab title, and an alarm sounds when the time is up. Use pause to stop the clock and reset to start again.

Why 25 minutes?

25 minutes is one Pomodoro. The Pomodoro Technique splits work into 25-minute focus sessions, each followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer break after four sessions.

Is this timer free?

Yes. It runs in your browser on phone or desktop, with no sign-up or download.

Is there a timer that runs the breaks for me?

Yes. The free online Pomodoro timer switches between focus sessions and short and long breaks on its own. The FocusCommit app adds tasks, a Kanban board and statistics.
