Countdown Timer & Pomodoro
Free online countdown timer with preset shortcuts (5m, 15m, 25m Pomodoro) and a pleasant built-in audio alarm chime.
How the Pomodoro Timer Boosts Productivity
The human brain struggles to maintain peak focus for hours on end without fatigue. Developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s, the Pomodoro Technique uses short 25-minute intervals of intense, single-task work followed by 5-minute restful breaks. This prevents mental exhaustion, sharpens creative thinking, and eliminates procrastination.
