About This Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It uses focused work intervals (typically 25 minutes) separated by short breaks (5 minutes) to maximize productivity. After every four work sessions, you take a longer break (15 minutes). This free online Pomodoro timer helps you implement this technique with customizable intervals and audio notifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
The Pomodoro Technique is a productivity method where you work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This cycle repeats, and after four "pomodoros" you take a longer 15-minute break. It helps maintain focus and prevent burnout.
Can I customize the timer durations?
Yes. You can adjust the work time (1–90 minutes), break time (1–30 minutes), and long break time (1–60 minutes) to suit your workflow.
Will I hear a sound when the timer ends?
Yes, a beep sound plays using the Web Audio API when each interval ends. Make sure your browser allows audio playback.
Does the timer auto-switch between modes?
Yes. When the work timer finishes, it automatically switches to break mode and starts the break timer. After the break, it switches back to work mode, keeping your flow uninterrupted.
