Pomodoro timer — 25 minute focus, 5 minute break
Pomodoro timer — 25 minute focus, 5 minute break
The Pomodoro Technique is a time-management method that alternates focused work with short breaks. Tickline's pomodoro runs a clean 25/5 cycle with a longer 15-minute break every fourth round. The alarm rings between every phase so you can look away from the screen, and each completed focus block is logged to your local Stats page. The countdown is anchored to a real end-timestamp — background tabs stay accurate to the millisecond — and you can toggle voice cues, ambient rain / white-noise, browser notifications, and screen wake-lock so your phone doesn't sleep mid-session.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
Work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break, repeat. After 4 rounds take a longer 15-minute break. It's a simple way to stay focused and avoid burnout.
Can I change the intervals?
The classic 25/5 rhythm is baked in on this page. For custom intervals use the HIIT timer or the routine builder.
Does the alarm ring between phases?
Yes — every focus and break phase ends with the alarm so you can look away from the screen.
