Pomodoro Timer

Key features

• Focus, short break and long break modes with individually adjustable durations (1–120 minutes each).
• A long break automatically follows every four completed focus sessions, tracked with glowing session dots.
• Auto-advance toggle flows straight into the next phase after each chime — hands-off operation.
• Three-tone chime synthesized with WebAudio at every phase end (no audio files needed).
• Live countdown in the browser tab title, so you can track focus time from another tab.
• Durations and your completed-session count persist in this browser via localStorage.

How it works

1. 1

   Set your rhythm

   Adjust focus, short break and long break minutes in Settings. They're locked while a timer is running.

2. 2

   Start a focus session

   Press Start and the ring drains toward zero while the status badge pulses Focusing.

3. 3

   Take the chime's advice

   When a phase ends, the chime plays and — with auto-advance on — the next phase starts immediately: a short break, or a long one after every fourth focus session.

4. 4

   Steer when needed

   Pause, resume, Skip (which never counts as a completed session) or Reset at any time; the dots show your position in the four-session cycle.

Tips for better results

• 💡Watch the tab title instead of the page — the remaining time follows you to other tabs.
• 💡Prefer manual control? Turn Auto-advance off and start each phase yourself.
• 💡Your session count survives reloads because it's stored locally; clearing site data resets it to zero.
• 💡The classic defaults are 25/5/15 — 50/10 and 90/20 deep-work variants work just as well, and anything from 1 to 120 minutes is allowed.
• 💡Skipped sessions don't earn break credit — only completed focus sessions advance the long-break cycle.
