How to use it: pick one task, press start, and work on only that until the chime. Take the 5-minute break away from the screen — it switches back on its own. After four focus rounds, the timer gives you a 20-minute long break. New to the method? Read what the Pomodoro Technique is and why it works.

Frequently asked questions
How does this pomodoro timer work?
Press start and it runs a classic pomodoro cycle: 25 minutes of focus, then a 5-minute break, automatically alternating. After four focus rounds it offers a 20-minute long break. A gentle chime marks each transition, and the dots show where you are in the cycle.
What is the pomodoro cycle?
Work 25 minutes on one task, break for 5, and repeat. Each 25-minute block is one pomodoro; after four pomodoros you take a longer break of 15–30 minutes. The fixed rhythm makes starting easy and keeps attention fresh across a day.
Can I change the pomodoro length?
On this page the rhythm is the classic 25/5/20. If you prefer other lengths, use the single timers (15, 30, 45, 50 or 90 minutes) — or the free Kounts Flow iPhone app, where any custom duration gets the same calm timer plus streaks and stats.
Is there a pomodoro app for iPhone?
Kounts Flow is a free, beautiful focus timer for iPhone: pick 25 minutes or any length, track sessions by category, build streaks, and keep the countdown on your Lock Screen with a Live Activity while your phone stays face down.
