FAQ
Is this Pomodoro Timer free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up, no download, and no hidden limits. The timer runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It breaks work into focused intervals — typically 25 minutes — separated by short breaks. After four intervals you take a longer break. The method is designed to reduce mental fatigue and maintain focus throughout the day.
Can I change the work and break durations?
Yes. Open the Settings panel below the timer, enter your preferred focus duration (1–90 min), short-break duration (1–30 min), long-break duration (1–60 min), and the number of sessions before a long break (2–8). Click Apply Settings and the timer updates immediately.
Does the timer work offline?
Yes. Once the page has fully loaded in your browser, the timer continues to function without an internet connection. No data is sent to any server at any point.
Will the timer keep running if I switch browser tabs?
Yes. The timer uses JavaScript's setInterval to count down and it continues running in the background when you switch tabs or minimise the browser. The page title also updates with the remaining time so you can glance at the tab bar without switching back.
