Free Pomodoro timer for studying

Start a focused study session in seconds. Run 25 minute focus blocks with short breaks, so you can work on one thing at a time and give your brain regular rest. No account needed.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that breaks studying into short, timed intervals. You focus for 25 minutes, then take a 5 minute break. After four focus blocks you take a longer break. The short cycles make large tasks feel manageable and help you notice when your attention starts to drift.

How to study with the Pomodoro method

1. Pick one task to work on.
2. Start a 25 minute focus block and work only on that task.
3. When the timer ends, take a 5 minute break. Stand up, stretch, or rest your eyes.
4. Repeat. After four focus blocks, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

Tips for students

• Put your phone out of reach during a focus block.
• Write distractions down instead of acting on them, then return to your task.
• Match the number of blocks to your energy for the day rather than a fixed quota.
