What Is a Pomodoro Study Timer?
The Pomodoro technique is a simple way to study: work with full focus for a set number of minutes, take a short break, and repeat. This timer counts down each study block and break for you, and shows which session you are on.
How to Use It — Step by Step
- Enter your study minutes (15 to 60), break minutes (5 to 15) and number of sessions (1 to 8).
- Press Make My Study Plan to see your session plan.
- Press Start on the timer. It counts down your study session, then switches to a break, then to the next session.
- Use Pause to stop the countdown and Reset to start over.
Worked Example
With 25-minute study sessions, 5-minute breaks and 4 sessions, you get 100 minutes of focused study time in a total of 115 minutes. That is the classic Pomodoro setup — short enough to stay focused, long enough to make real progress.
FAQs
What happens when a session ends?
The timer switches automatically: after a study session it starts the break countdown, and after a break it starts the next study session. When all sessions are done, it stops and tells you the plan is complete.
Does the timer keep running if I leave the page?
No. The timer runs in your browser on this page, so keep the page open while you study.
Is this timer free?
Yes, it is completely free and needs no sign-up. Nothing you enter is stored.
