Pomodoro Timer: Work & Study

Pomodoro Timer is a focus timer built around one promise: when your session ends, it rings.

Set a focus block, put the phone down and get on with your work. The timer keeps counting with the screen off, in your pocket, and after Android decides to put the app to sleep — and the alarm goes off on time, not when you next unlock.

WHY THIS POMODORO TIMER

- Alarms that actually fire. Exact scheduling and a foreground service, so a 25 minute focus session ends at 25 minutes even with the screen off.

- The countdown never runs past zero. No negative numbers, no frozen timer, no lost session.

- Every finished block is counted, even if you missed the alarm.

FOCUS AND STUDY SESSIONS

- Adjustable focus, short break and long break lengths

- Long break after any number of blocks, or your own custom pattern

- Auto-start breaks and focus blocks, or start each one yourself

- Skip a phase, add 5 minutes, or drag the dial to where you actually got to

- Reset the cycle whenever you want

AN ALARM YOU CAN SET UP PROPERLY

- Six alarm tones, with a preview before you commit

- A different sound for the end of a focus block and the end of a break

- Its own volume, independent of your media volume

- Repeat the alarm until you notice it

- Vibration that works when the ringer is silent, for libraries and offices

- Full screen alert over the lock screen

TIME TRACKING AND STATISTICS

- Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly totals

- Calendar heatmap of your study and work history

- Streaks that survive working past midnight

- Labels for subjects, projects or clients, with per-label totals

- A daily goal you can set, or switch off entirely

BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY

- Minimal, quiet interface with nothing to learn

- Six colour themes plus a true black AMOLED mode

- Adjustable text size and readable contrast

- Home screen and lock screen widget

- Named presets: Classic, Study, Deep Work and Long Form

- The timer itself works offline, with no connection needed

- No account and nothing to sign in to

- No promotional notifications, ever

WHO IT IS FOR

Students revising for exams. Developers, writers and designers doing deep work. Freelancers tracking billable time. Anyone with ADHD who works better with structure. And anyone who has tried the pomodoro technique before and been let down by a timer that stayed silent.

HOW THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE WORKS

1. Pick one task

2. Work on it for 25 minutes without switching

3. Take a 5 minute break

4. After four blocks, take a longer break

Every one of those numbers is adjustable, so you can run 50/10 deep work blocks, 90 minute writing sessions, or short 15 minute bursts.

Time blocking, interval training, revision, meditation, workouts, cooking — anything that needs a countdown you can trust.
