How to run a Pomodoro or countdown timer
Focus Timer runs a Pomodoro cycle or a single countdown in this tab. Choose the lengths, press Start and the time left appears on the timer and in the tab title. A chime sounds when a phase ends, and you can ask for a browser notification as well. It keeps no history and needs no account.

How to use this app

Limits and privacy
- Pomodoro accepts focus of 1 to 180 minutes, short breaks of 1 to 60 minutes, long breaks of 1 to 120 minutes and a long break every 2 to 12 sessions. A countdown runs from 1 second to 24 hours.

Common questions
Does it keep time in a background tab?
The time is worked out from the clock, so it stays accurate. Browsers may delay the chime or notification, and phones may pause them when the screen locks.
Why is there no sound?
Check that the chime option is on, your device volume is up and the browser allows audio. The chime is generated in the browser; no audio files are used.
Is Focus Timer free, and do I need an account?
Yes, it is free. Focus Timer runs in your browser with no account or payment details, and it never uses OnePassApps credits.
