Pomodoro timer
Work in focused stretches with breaks in between, and see how much you got done today.
How it works
- 01Optionally write down what you are working on, and adjust the focus and break lengths if 25 and 5 minutes don't suit you.
- 02Press Start and focus until the gentle chime. Your break starts by itself, or when you are ready.
- 03After every few focus sessions you get a longer break. The dots and the daily count show your progress.
Questions
›What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A way of working in short, focused stretches, classically 25 minutes, each followed by a 5 minute break, with a longer break after every four. It was created by Francesco Cirillo and named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer he used.
›Can I change the lengths?
Yes. Set any length for focus, short breaks and long breaks, choose how many focus sessions come before a long break, and decide whether breaks and focus sessions start on their own.
›Where is my daily count kept?
In this browser's local storage, along with your settings. It starts from zero each new day, and clearing your browser data resets it.
›Does it keep time in a background tab?
Yes. It works from the start time rather than counting ticks, so the chime plays on time even when the browser slows down a background tab. Space starts and pauses, R resets and S skips to the next phase.
›Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, and Rounder never sends what you type or drop in to a server, ours or anyone else's. Once the page has loaded, along with any AI model the tool uses, it even works offline.
