Pomodoro Timer: a quick guide

Run focused work sessions with a clean Pomodoro timer and customisable intervals.

The Pomodoro technique is the simplest productivity method that actually works: 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of break, repeat. The ChrysoKit Pomodoro Timer does that loop and very little else.

Why use it

Most Pomodoro tools bury the timer under feature creep. Ours sticks to the technique: focus, break, long break, with one number you can read from the next room.

How to use the Pomodoro Timer

  1. Press start to begin a 25-minute focus session.
  2. When the bell rings, take a 5-minute break.
  3. After four cycles, take a longer break.
  4. Repeat as many times as your attention will hold.

Pro tips

  • Don't break the Pomodoro for a 'quick check'. Let it ring and check during the break.
  • Pick one task per Pomodoro. Multitasking inside the cycle defeats the point.
  • Three or four good cycles in a morning is a productive day. Burnout is not the goal.

Privacy first. The Pomodoro Timer runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to a server.

If your day is fragmented, run a few cycles with the Pomodoro Timer. Focus is a habit, and structure makes the habit easier.
