Pomodoro focus timer
Work in short focused bursts with proper breaks. Set the lengths you like, press start and get a gentle chime when it's time to switch. Works while you use other tabs.

The Pomodoro Technique, devised by Francesco Cirillo, alternates focused work with short breaks: typically 25 minutes on, 5 off, and a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after four rounds. The idea is that a fixed, short window makes starting easier and the breaks stop you running on empty.
The timer works from the clock rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate when the tab is in the background, and the time shows in the tab's title so you can see it from elsewhere. Many people with ADHD find shorter focus blocks (10 to 15 minutes) work better. Change the lengths on the right.
How long is a Pomodoro?
Traditionally 25 minutes of work, then a 5-minute break. After four, take a longer 15 to 30 minute break. You can change all three lengths.
Will it work if I switch tabs?
Yes. It uses the clock so it keeps time in the background, and the chime plays when the session ends. Keep the tab open.
Does it save anything?
No. The settings and count reset when you close the tab. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Is it good for ADHD?
Many people find short timed blocks helpful. Try 10 to 15 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break, and adjust to what works for you. This isn't medical advice.
Make the work smaller first
The ADHD Student Planner breaks each assignment into steps and sorts the week into must, should and could, so each focus session has one clear job. The Dopamine Menu gives you somewhere good to go on a break.
