🍅 Pomodoro Timer

What is a Pomodoro Timer?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s that alternates 25-minute focused work sessions with 5-minute breaks. 'Pomodoro' is Italian for tomato, named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer the creator used. This online Pomodoro timer runs directly in your browser without installation, automatically tracks completed sessions, and sends browser notifications when a timer ends. It's effective for coding, studying, writing, or any task requiring sustained concentration. Custom time settings let you tailor each session to your personal workflow and attention span.
