Pomodoro Study Timer
Boost your focus with 25-minute study sessions and 5-minute breaks. Customise your intervals and track your progress.
The Pomodoro Study Timer is a free online focus timer based on the popular Pomodoro Technique — a time management method used by students worldwide to stay productive while avoiding burnout. The idea is simple: study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, and repeat. After every four sessions, take a longer 15-minute break to recharge.
This tool is perfect for students who struggle with distractions, procrastination, or marathon study sessions that lead to fatigue. The timer includes a visual progress ring, an audio chime when sessions end, and a session counter so you can track how much focused study time you've completed each day.
You can customise the work, break, and long break durations to match your personal study style. Some students prefer 50/10 or 45/15 splits for deeper concentration. The timer runs accurately even when the browser tab is in the background — so you can switch to your study material without worrying about losing track.
