Focus Better with the Pomodoro Technique (and a Minimalist Timer to Match)
If you’ve ever struggled with distractions, long to-do lists, or the feeling that your day just “disappeared” — you’re not alone.
One of the most effective tools I’ve found for staying focused is the Pomodoro Technique.
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
It’s a simple productivity method where you:
- Work for 25 minutes
- Take a 5-minute break
After 4 cycles, take a longer break (15–30 minutes). That’s it. No fancy system, no overthinking.
It works because it creates urgency, reduces burnout, and trains your brain to focus in short, powerful bursts.
The Problem with Most Pomodoro Apps
Most Pomodoro apps are packed with features: task lists, stats, reminders, settings, themes… It’s ironic — tools meant to reduce distraction often become a source of distraction themselves.
That’s why I decided to build my own.
A One-Button Pomodoro App — and Nothing Else
We created a super minimal Pomodoro timer:
- One button
- One timer
- No login
- No data tracking
- No bloat
Just press Start and focus.
It’s free to use, runs in your browser, and doesn’t save anything between sessions — because sometimes, simplicity is the best productivity tool.
