PomoSpot — Lofi Pomodoro Timer & Study Rooms

Your lofi study spot. A free pomodoro timer with lofi music, ambient sounds, a task list, focus stats and live rooms where friends run one shared clock. No download, no account needed.

What is PomoSpot?

PomoSpot is a browser-based focus timer built around the Pomodoro Technique: work in a fixed block, take a short break, repeat. The timer above runs focus, break, long-break and stopwatch modes with presets from 10 minutes to 2 hours. Around it sits everything you would otherwise open in other tabs: music, ambient sound, your tasks for the session, and a record of how much you actually focused. It works on phones and desktops, and there is a Chrome extension that opens PomoSpot in every new tab.

How to use the timer

Choose a mode and a length. Focus is selected by default; tap 25m for the classic pomodoro, or 45m, 1h and 90m for longer deep-work blocks.
Add the one task this block is for. Open the tasks drawer, type it, and tick it off when done.
Press play. A chime sounds when the block ends. Switch to Break, take it, then come back to Focus.
After four rounds, take a long break. The long-break mode remembers its own length.

Study together in live rooms

Tap PomoParty to create a room and get a six-character code. Anyone who joins with that code sees the same timer: when the host presses play, everyone starts together, and pauses and resets are synced live. A small chat sits under the timer for break check-ins. Each person keeps their own music and scene, so only the clock is shared. Read more on the study with me timer page.

Music and ambient sounds

Four built-in lofi moods, chosen for different kinds of work: deep focus (minimal tracks for long sessions), study beats (steady lofi hip-hop), flow state (a brighter shuffle for momentum) and unwind (soft tracks for breaks). Under the music you can layer rain, thunder, café murmur, fire, wind, birds, a river or a train, each with its own volume. Prefer your own playlist? Paste a Spotify link, or sign in to Apple Music, and it plays inside the timer. See pomodoro timer with lofi music and rain sounds for studying.

Track your focus

Every completed block is recorded: sessions and minutes today, this week and all time, your best day, and a streak of active days. Stats and tasks live in your browser by default. Sign in with Google, Apple or email to sync them across devices.
