Built for the working day rather than the exam hall: longer blocks, a stopwatch for billable time, minimal lofi that stays out of the way, and a shared timer for remote co-working sessions with colleagues.
Twenty-five-minute pomodoros were designed for study. Knowledge work has a different shape: loading a codebase, a document or a spreadsheet into your head costs ten to fifteen minutes before anything useful happens, and an interruption throws that away. Two rhythms fit better.
Keep the classic 25 / 5 for admin sprints: inbox, expenses, the tasks you have been avoiding since Tuesday.
Switch to stopwatch mode when you need to know how long something took rather than to cap it: a client task, a support incident, a meeting that should have been an email. Laps mark sub-tasks, and when you stop the watch the time is added to your daily focus stats, so your end-of-day total includes tracked work as well as pomodoros.
The deep focus mode plays minimal, slow, lyric-free tracks chosen for long sessions; it is the setting most people leave on all day. Layer ambient sound under it if your home office is too quiet or your open-plan office is too loud: rain and café murmur are the usual picks for masking speech. If you would rather run your own playlist, Spotify and Apple Music both play inside the timer. More on the lofi music page.
Working from home removes the quiet pressure of people around you doing their jobs. A PomoSpot room puts some of it back: two or three colleagues, cameras off, one timer. The host presses play and everyone's block starts together; the chat is for the break. Teams use a standing room code for a daily focus hour. It needs no accounts, no calendar invite and no meeting link.
Check the weekly stats on Friday. Most people are surprised how few focused hours a "busy" week contains, and how much better the weeks with four honest hours a day feel.
Yes. It is light, it keeps time in the background, and the chime plays whichever tab you are on. The Chrome extension puts it in every new tab if you prefer.
Not yet. It records total focused time to your stats; copy the figure into your tool of choice at the end of the day.

The end-of-block chime is the notification. It is audible over the music and does not require permission prompts.
