25-minute timer
Set, ready, and free. Press start for a classic Pomodoro.
Twenty-five minutes is the original Pomodoro length: long enough to get somewhere, short enough that starting never feels like a decision. The timer above is already set to it — press start and go.
When it rings, a 5-minute break is ready, then the next 25. Turn on auto-continue if you want the cycle to move by itself. Four rounds is a solid morning.
What it is for
When a 25-minute timer helps.
Beating the first five minutes
The length exists to make starting cheap. Twenty-five minutes is a small enough promise that the part of you that wants to delay runs out of arguments.
Work that fits in a block
Reading, drafting, revising, replying — work that comes in units. One unit per timer keeps the day legible instead of blurring together.
Days that get interrupted
Short blocks survive interruption. If a 25-minute run gets broken, you have lost very little; a broken 90-minute block costs far more.
Seeing the day add up
Each finished 25 minutes grows a plant in your field, so a day of focus leaves something behind besides a cleared list.
Questions
25-minute timer, answered.
- How do I start a 25-minute timer?
- Press start. The timer above is already set to 25 minutes, it runs in your browser, and it keeps counting accurately if you switch tabs or lock the screen.
- Is this 25-minute timer free?
- Yes. It is free, and no account is needed to run a timer. Signing in only matters if you want your garden and history kept across devices.
- Why 25 minutes?
- Twenty-five minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break is one Pomodoro. It is short enough to beat procrastination and long enough to reach real concentration.
- Will it alert me when the 25 minutes are up?
- It will chime when the time is up, and it can send a browser notification if you allow it. Both are optional and stored on this device.
- Can I change the length?
- Yes. Open the timer settings to change any length from 1 to 120 minutes, or build a whole custom cycle of named focus and rest timers.
