How to use this as a Pomodoro timer.
The Pomodoro Technique is simple: work in a focused 25 minute block, then take a 5 minute break. After four blocks, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes. Each 25 minute block is one Pomodoro.
To run a Pomodoro here, set the timer to 25 minutes and press start. Work until the chime, then set it to 5 minutes for your break. The short, repeating rhythm keeps focus fresh and stops a single task from swallowing your whole day.
It works because it shrinks the commitment. You are not promising to focus all afternoon, only until the next chime. For brains that struggle to start, that smaller promise is the whole trick.
Time you can actually see.
Numbers counting down are easy to ignore. A shrinking ring is not. This is a visual timer: the circle empties as your time runs out, turning an abstract countdown into something you can feel at a glance.
That matters most for people with time blindness, where minutes slip by unnoticed and “five more minutes” quietly becomes an hour. Seeing time pass, rather than just reading it, is one of the simplest tools for staying anchored to the clock.
Online timer questions.
Is this online timer free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up and no ads. Pick a length or type your own, then press start.
Can I use it as a Pomodoro timer?
Yes. Set it to 25 minutes for a focused Pomodoro, then take a 5 minute break. The presets make it a one-tap Pomodoro timer.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes. It counts down against the real clock, so it stays accurate in the background, and the time left shows in the browser tab title so you can keep an eye on it from any tab.
Is it a visual timer?
Yes. The ring empties as the time counts down, so you can see at a glance how much is left without reading the numbers. That visual cue is especially helpful for ADHD and time-blind brains.
Does it make a sound when the time is up?
It plays a soft chime when the countdown finishes, calm by design rather than a jarring alarm.
