What PomoTimer is

PomoTimer is a browser-based focus timer that runs 25-minute work sessions followed by breaks. It offers 25/5, 50/10, 90/20, and 15/3 presets, along with custom focus and break durations and automatic break starts. The web timer can open in an always-on-top Picture-in-Picture window in desktop Chrome and Edge. A free Windows desktop app adds a frameless floating window, adjustable opacity and frost, a draggable minimised keycap, in-window settings, chimes, and click-through mode; it continues running offline after installation. Completed sessions are saved locally in the browser for daily and total counts. Unsigned-in web users’ tasks, settings, and history remain in browser storage and are not sent to the site. Google sign-in is needed to download the desktop app and sync data. Signed-in users appear on the public leaderboard by default, but can turn off their listing in Preferences. The independent maker is Gazala Farheen.
