Aesthetic Pomodoro study timer

How the Pomodoro study timer works

The Pomodoro technique breaks studying into short, timed sprints so it's easier to start and easier to stay concentrated. You focus for one block, take a short break, and after a few rounds you earn a longer rest. This timer runs the whole cycle for you — and lets you make it look and sound the way you like, which is half the reason people actually keep it open.

• 1Keep the classic 25-minute focus / 5-minute break, or open Settings to switch to 50/10 for deep work.
• 2Pick a vibe, add the task you're studying, and turn on a real ambient sound (rain, ocean, campfire…) if silence is too loud.
• 3Hit Start — or tap Zen for a distraction-free full-screen view.
• 4When the block ends a soft chime plays and the break begins automatically. Stand up and look away from the screen.
• 5After four focus rounds you get a long break. Your pomodoros and total focus time for the day are tallied at the bottom.

Make it a timer you'll actually keep open

A study timer only helps if you use it, and a plain white countdown gets closed in thirty seconds. That's why this one ships with eight living scenes — rain streaking past a foggy window with lightning in the storm, a campfire with flames, rising embers and smoke, layered ocean swell with glinting light, sun rays through a forest with fireflies, the Milky Way with shooting stars, drifting sakura petals, sunset clouds with passing birds, and a flowing indigo aurora. The picture even listens to the sound: a thunder rumble triggers the lightning, the fire's glow flickers with the crackle. Set the mood once and your brain starts to associate it with getting into flow.

Everything you choose — your vibe, your focus lengths, your task list and your daily stats — is saved on your device only. There's no account and no server, so it loads instantly and works even with your Wi-Fi off.
