Pomodoro timer

A free, distraction-free Pomodoro timer for focused work. Set a 25-minute interval, name your task, and start the clock — the timer above is ready to go, with no sign-up and no ads.

How the Pomodoro Technique works

The Pomodoro Technique breaks work into short, timed sprints separated by breaks. The rhythm is simple: work for 25 minutes, then rest for 5. Each 25-minute sprint is one "Pomodoro." After four Pomodoros, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes before starting the next set.

The fixed interval is the point. Knowing the clock is running makes it easier to start, and the regular breaks keep you from burning out across a long day.

How to run a Pomodoro session in Deepnous

1. Tap the time and set it to 25:00 (or your preferred sprint length).
2. Type what you're working on so the session has a single, clear focus.
3. Press Start — or hit the spacebar — and work until the chime.
4. Take a 5-minute break, then start the next Pomodoro.

Why a distraction-free Pomodoro timer helps

Most online timers surround the clock with ads, settings, and links. Deepnous is deliberately bare: a full-screen, dark interface with just the time, your task, and the controls. When the session ends you get a gentle chime and a browser notification, so you can stay heads-down until the Pomodoro is done.

Frequently asked questions

How long is one Pomodoro?

A standard Pomodoro is 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break. After four Pomodoros, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

Can I change the interval length?

Yes. Tap the time to set any duration — keep the classic 25 minutes, or use longer 45 to 90-minute blocks if you prefer fewer, deeper sessions.

Does the Pomodoro timer keep running in a background tab?

Yes. Deepnous counts against an absolute end time using a web worker, so the timer stays accurate even when the tab is in the background.

Prefer longer, uninterrupted sessions? Try the focus timer, or head back to the deep work timer home.
