A calmer way to finish what matters.

Use focused work intervals, intentional breaks, a lightweight task list, and a background that feels like your own space.

Choose one task

Define the single outcome you want before the timer begins.

Focus for 25 minutes

Work until the sound, without negotiating with the clock.

Take a real break

Move, breathe, or make a drink. Give your attention a reset.

Repeat with intention

After four focus sessions, take the longer break.

What is the Pomodoro Technique?

The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method developed by Francesco Cirillo. It divides work into short focus sessions—traditionally 25 minutes—followed by brief breaks.

The fixed interval makes a difficult task easier to begin. Breaks help protect attention across longer study periods, while completed sessions give you a simple record of progress.

Common questions

Is this Pomodoro timer free?

Yes. The timer, tasks, custom intervals, automatic timer cues, progress tracking, and personal backgrounds are free to use without an account.

Does the timer keep working in another tab?

Yes. It calculates time from a saved deadline instead of relying only on interval ticks, which reduces drift when the tab is in the background.

Where is my uploaded background stored?

The image is resized and stored locally in your browser. It is not uploaded to Mindley. You can remove it at any time in Settings.

What timing should I use for studying?

Start with 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a 15-minute long break. Adjust the intervals if your subject or attention needs a different rhythm.
