Free online Pomodoro timer
Work in focused 25-minute sessions with short breaks in between, and a longer break after four. Set your own lengths, start the timer, and keep your session count visible.
Everything runs in your browser and is saved locally — no account, no tracking, and it keeps counting even if the tab is in the background.

How the Pomodoro technique works
The Pomodoro technique breaks work into fixed intervals — traditionally 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute break. After four focus sessions you take a longer 15–30 minute break.
The point is simple: a running clock makes it easier to start, and a scheduled break makes it easier to keep going. You commit to one task for one interval instead of an open-ended, distraction-prone stretch.
How to use this timer
Pick Focus, Short break, or Long break, then press Start. When a focus session ends the timer plays a sound and automatically moves you to a break; after four focus sessions it switches to a long break.
Adjust the minute values for each mode to match how you work — many people prefer 50/10 for deep work or 15/3 for shallow tasks. Your settings and session count are remembered on this device.
Get more out of every session
A timer tells you time passed; it does not tell you what you did. In Owldo the same Pomodoro timer sits inside your task list, so each session is attached to a real task and the notes around it — turning focus into finished work instead of just elapsed minutes.
Frequently asked questions
