Pomodoro Timer

Why the Pomodoro technique works

Willpower is a bad time manager. The Pomodoro technique replaces it with a simple contract: 25 minutes of full focus, then a guaranteed 5-minute break. The timer — not you — decides when to stop, which makes starting easy and burnout unlikely. This online version needs no installs and works right in the browser tab.

What it does

• Classic cycle: 4 × (25 minutes of work + 5 minutes of break), then a long 15-minute break.
• Sound alert at every phase switch — you can step away from the screen.
• Session counter and the remaining time right in the browser tab title.

How to use

1. Press Start and work on a single task until the bell.
2. Take the short break fully — stand up, look away from the screen.
3. After four cycles take the long break, then start the next round.

How it works

The countdown is driven by wall-clock deadlines rather than tick counting, so tab throttling cannot skew it. The alert is generated by the Web Audio API — no sound files, and everything works offline once the page is loaded.
