Twenty-Five-Minute Timer
The classic Pomodoro work interval as a single twenty-five-minute countdown. Start, focus, break when the ring closes.
Start the countdown, keep this tab open, and you’ll hear an alarm after exactly 25 minutes. The ring shows progress at a glance.

What twenty-five minutes are good for
One Pomodoro
Twenty-five minutes of single-task focus is the unit the Pomodoro Technique is built around. This page is that one interval.
Writing sessions
Draft without editing until the alarm. Most people produce more in one timed sprint than in an hour of unstructured work.
Study and revision
Read, recall, test. A fixed end makes it easier to start revision you have been avoiding.
Chores in bulk
Fold laundry, batch-cook, or clear your inbox for exactly one block, then stop.
Tips
- Want automatic breaks and round counting? Use the Pomodoro timer instead.
- Write down the one task you are doing before you press start.
Questions
Why 25 minutes?
Francesco Cirillo chose 25 minutes for the Pomodoro Technique because it is long enough to get real work done and short enough to sustain full attention. It is a convention, not a rule; adjust if another length works better for you.
What is the difference between this and the Pomodoro timer?
This page is a single 25-minute countdown. The Pomodoro timer cycles through 25-minute focus rounds, 5-minute breaks, and a 15-minute break after every fourth round.
