4Pomodoro started as a simple personal tool and grew into a full productivity companion — tasks, projects, visual reports, and a fullscreen focus mode — all free, all running quietly in your browser.
Most Pomodoro timers online do one thing and stop there: a circle, a countdown, a bell. That's fine for an afternoon, but it falls apart the moment you have a real to-do list, multiple projects running at once, or you simply want to know whether your "focused" hours are adding up to anything.
4Pomodoro exists to close that gap. We built it as the tool we wished already existed: a timer that remembers your tasks, groups them by project, shows you a week of real data at a glance, and gets out of the way with a distraction-free fullscreen mode when you just need to put your head down and work.
There's no account to create and no paywall hiding the features that actually matter. Your tasks and stats live in your own browser — private to you, available the next time you open the page.
A timer's first job is to run. Every extra feature here earns its place without getting in the way of starting a session in two clicks.
No sign-up, no tracking of what you work on. Your tasks and history are stored locally on your own device, not on our servers.
Real reports, not vanity numbers. We show you exactly how many pomodoros and hours you've actually focused — nothing inflated, nothing hidden.
Every feature on this site — projects, reports, ambient sounds, exports — is free. We support the project through light, non-intrusive ads, not by gating tools behind a paywall.
The Pomodoro Technique was created in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo, who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to structure his study sessions — which is where the name "pomodoro" (Italian for tomato) comes from. The method is simple: work with full focus for a fixed interval, usually 25 minutes, then take a short break. After four such cycles, take a longer break to properly recharge.
It works because it lowers the cost of starting. A huge task is intimidating; 25 focused minutes of it rarely are. The ticking clock creates just enough healthy urgency to crowd out distractions, and the built-in breaks keep your energy from draining away over the course of a long day.
If you want the full step-by-step walkthrough — choosing a task, running your first pomodoro, structuring breaks — head back to the timer page, where we cover exactly how to use 4Pomodoro from your first session onward.
4Pomodoro is designed for the kind of day that doesn't fit neatly into one task at a time:
No account, no setup — just open the timer and go.
