How to use the Pomodoro Timer

  1. 01

    Pick one task

    Choose a single thing to work on and name it. One task per session is the whole point.

  2. 02

    Focus for 25 minutes

    Start the timer and work without switching tabs, apps or thoughts until it rings.

  3. 03

    Take a 5 minute break

    Stand up, look away from the screen, let your attention recover before the next round.

  4. 04

    Every 4 rounds, rest longer

    After four focus sessions take 15 to 30 minutes off. That longer pause is what keeps the method sustainable.

Pick a timer that you can stand looking at

The timer fills the whole screen, so what it looks like matters more than in a widget you glance at twice an hour. The default is a wall of water that drains as the session runs — the level is the time you have left, which means you can read the clock without reading a number.

If that is not your thing, choose from three free visual styles in the customize page; Pro includes all 31 and future styles. Dark and light themes follow your system by default and can be toggled from the header at any time. The choice is remembered in this browser, so the site opens the way you left it.

See where your hours actually went

The free dashboard shows today’s total, based on the first completed focus session recorded each local day. Pro unlocks week, month and year views, comparisons, charts, a heatmap, category breakdowns and streaks.

While a session is running, the dashboard shows it live — the same countdown as the timer, because the clock beats in the site shell rather than on any single page. Sign in to see completed sessions on your other devices.

Open your dashboard — it is empty until your first finished session.

Why the Pomodoro Technique works

The Pomodoro Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, splits work into focused 25-minute blocks separated by short breaks. The fixed length does two things at once: it makes starting easy, because 25 minutes feels affordable even for a task you have been avoiding, and it gives your attention a scheduled place to recover before it collapses on its own.

The breaks are not a reward, they are part of the method. Sustained attention degrades after long stretches, and the short pause resets it — which is why four focused sessions usually beat two exhausting hours of half-attention.

Timeoora keeps that loop simple with a few visual timer styles, a record of the focus sessions included in your plan, and categories to separate work from study. Guests keep their recorded history in this browser.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Pomodoro timer?

A Pomodoro timer alternates focused work blocks — traditionally 25 minutes — with short 5 minute breaks, following the Pomodoro Technique created by Francesco Cirillo. After four blocks you take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

Is Timeoora free?

Yes. The timer itself is free and unlimited. The free plan includes three styles, three built-in categories with no additions and one recorded focus session per local day; CSV export is always free. Pro unlocks all styles, unlimited categories, every focus session, goals and full progress insights. People who used Timeoora before the limits keep all features.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Use the timer as a guest or sign in to sync your focus sessions and timer settings across devices.

Can I change the 25 and 5 minute defaults?

Yes. Focus time, short break and long break are all adjustable in the timer settings, so you can run 50/10, 90/20 or whatever rhythm suits your work.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown keeps going in the background and the remaining time shows in the browser tab title, so you can read something else and still hear the bell.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Timeoora runs in the browser on phone, tablet and desktop — nothing to install.

Can I change the timer style or use dark mode?

Yes. The header toggles dark and light at any time. The free plan includes three visual styles, while Pro unlocks all 31 and future styles. Both choices are saved in your browser (and synced to your account if you sign in) and applied before the page paints, so there is no flash of the wrong theme.

Does it track my focus time?

Yes. The free plan records the first completed focus session per local day and shows today’s total. Pro records every session and adds week, month and year views, streaks, comparisons, charts, a heatmap and category insights.

Can I keep the timer visible while I work?

Yes. The remaining time shows in the browser tab title, so you can read something else and still see the countdown. There is also a full-screen mode for the timer.

Will I lose my history if I clear my browser?

Clearing this browser erases guest history. Sessions synced to your account are available when you sign in again.
