Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. It tracks real elapsed time, so leaving the tab open in the background still works.

What is the Pomodoro technique?

It alternates 25 minutes of focused work with 5-minute breaks. This tool runs those cycles automatically and counts how many you complete.

Will it make a sound when the timer ends?

Yes. A short beep is generated with the Web Audio API when a countdown reaches zero, and at each Pomodoro transition — no audio file is downloaded.

Do I need an account or to install anything?

No. It runs entirely in your browser. There is no signup, no install, and nothing is sent to a server.

What is the difference between the timer and the stopwatch?

The timer counts down from a time you set to zero; the stopwatch counts up from zero to measure how long something takes.

How long are the Pomodoro focus and break periods?

The classic 25 minutes of focus followed by a 5-minute break. The tool switches between them automatically and tallies completed focus cycles.

Is the elapsed time accurate?

Yes. It measures real wall-clock time rather than counting ticks, so it stays accurate even if the tab is throttled in the background.

Online Timer, Stopwatch & Pomodoro

A timer, stopwatch and Pomodoro — all in one

This single tool combines the three timing tools you reach for most: a countdown timer for cooking, workouts and reminders; a stopwatch to measure how long something takes; and a Pomodoro focus timer for structured work sessions. No app to install, no account to create — keep the tab open and it just works.

How it works

All three modes are driven by real elapsed wall-clock time rather than a tick counter, so they stay accurate even when the browser throttles a background tab. The timer counts down from the minutes and seconds you set to zero; the stopwatch counts up from zero; and Pomodoro runs the classic 25-minute focus / 5-minute break cycle, switching automatically and tallying how many focus blocks you complete. When a countdown reaches zero — or a Pomodoro phase ends — a short beep is generated on the fly with the Web Audio API, so no sound file is loaded.

Example

Set the timer to 10:00 for a tea steep and press Start; it counts down to 00:00 and beeps. Or pick Pomodoro and work — after 25 minutes it beeps and starts a 5-minute break, then a new focus block, incrementing your completed-cycle count each round.

Mode	Direction	Best for
Timer	Counts down	Cooking, reminders, intervals
Stopwatch	Counts up	Timing tasks, laps
Pomodoro	25 / 5 cycles	Focused work sessions

Everything runs in your browser, with no signup.
