25 Minute timer

What a 25 minute timer is good for

Twenty-five minutes is one Pomodoro — the interval Francesco Cirillo settled on in the late 1980s with a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. It is long enough to get properly into a task and short enough that starting does not feel like a commitment.

• One Pomodoro work interval
• A focused writing session
• Reading a chapter
• A short lesson

The alarm is a gong generated in your browser, so it works with the sound on and no connection. For work/break cycles with ambient sound, use the Focus timer; to count down to a date instead of a duration, use Countdowns.
