After the fourth session, the timer moves to a longer break rather than a short one.
The pattern is a focus session followed by a short break, and a longer break after four sessions.
Über Pomodoro Timer
A pomodoro timer helps you work in short, focused bursts with regular breaks in between. The classic method uses 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5 minute break, and after four work sessions you take a longer break of around 15 minutes. This timer follows that pattern by default, and it also offers a longer and a shorter preset. Breaking work into fixed sessions can make a long task feel less daunting, and the breaks give your mind time to rest before the next round.
Start the timer and it counts down the current session, with the time shown on the page and in the title of the tab so you can keep an eye on it from another window. When a session ends, a soft chime sounds and the timer moves on to the next break or focus session. You can pause, resume, reset the current timer or start over to clear the session count. Choose your own lengths if the presets do not suit your work, and use the mute button if you prefer a silent timer.

Häufige Fragen
What is a pomodoro?
A pomodoro is a block of focused work, usually 25 minutes long, followed by a short break. The name comes from a kitchen timer shaped like a tomato. After four focus sessions, most people take a longer break, which gives them time to rest properly before starting again. The method is simple and can be adapted to suit different kinds of work.
Can I change the lengths of the sessions?
Yes. Use the presets for a quick start, or enter your own minutes for focus, short break and long break, then press Use these times. Each length must be a whole number of minutes between 1 and 180. Changing the times returns the timer to the start of a focus session, so set them before you begin.
How does the timer count sessions?
Each completed focus session adds one to the count. After every fourth session, the timer suggests a long break rather than a short one. The count only moves forward when a focus session finishes, so breaks and paused time do not affect it. Press Start over if you want to reset the count to zero.
Why is the time shown in the page title?
Showing the time in the title lets you see how much time is left even when you have another tab or window open. The title also shows whether you are in a focus session or a break. When you leave the page, the original title is restored, so your other tabs stay easy to find.
Is my timer data saved?
No. The timer and the session count are kept only while this page stays open. If you leave or reload the page, the timer returns to its starting point and the count goes back to zero. This keeps the tool simple, but it also means you should note your total if you want to keep a record of the day.
