25 minute timer
The classic Pomodoro length: twenty-five minutes of single-task focus. Start it here for a simple one-shot sprint, or use the full Pomodoro timer for repeating focus and break cycles.

When the time is up you hear three beeps and the tab title flashes — no account, nothing to install.
What a 25 minute timer is good for
- One Pomodoro-style focus sprint on a single task
- A 25-minute study block before a short break
- Time-boxing email, admin or code review
- A timed exam-practice question set
- Writing a first draft against the clock
Like every timer on this site, this countdown is computed from timestamps rather than counted ticks, so it ends on time even if the tab sits in the background — the alarm still sounds the moment you bring the tab forward, and the title keeps flashing until you do. Need a different length? Use the full countdown timer to set any duration, or pick another preset: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this the same as the Pomodoro timer?
- This page is a single 25-minute countdown. The Pomodoro timer repeats the cycle for you — 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a round counter — and remembers your settings.
- Why 25 minutes?
- It is long enough to make real progress and short enough that starting feels easy. The length comes from the Pomodoro Technique, a time-boxing method built around 25-minute work intervals separated by short breaks.
