Pomodoro Study Timer
Study for 25 minutes, rest for 5 and take a long break after four rounds. Press Start to begin.
How the Pomodoro study timer works
This page opens on the classic Pomodoro: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute short break, and a 15-minute long break after every four focus sessions. The ring shows how much of the session is left and the round counter shows where you are in the cycle.
Add what you are studying under Tasks.
Press Start and work on that one task only.
When the bell rings, take the 5-minute break away from your screen.
After four rounds, enjoy the long break, then start again.
Why the Pomodoro technique works for studying
Twenty-five minutes is short enough to start even when you do not feel like it, and long enough to make real progress.
- Regular breaks stop fatigue from building up, so your fourth session is almost as sharp as your first.
- Counting Pomodoros also gives you an honest measure of how much focused study you did.
- Read the full guide to the Pomodoro technique for studying.
