Pomodoro Timer with breathing breaks
Focus in sprints, then actually reset. This Pomodoro timer turns every break into a slow breathing bubble — six breaths a minute — so you come back to work calm, not scrolling. Free, in your browser.
Focus, 25:00 remaining
25-minute sprints, a breathing break after each, a longer break every four. Runs in your browser — nothing to install.
How it works
- 1Set your sprint
25 minutes is the classic focus block — adjust it with the steppers if you like. Press start and work on one thing.
- 2Breathe on the break
When the sprint ends, the timer switches to a break and a slow breathing bubble appears. Follow it — expand to inhale, contract to exhale — for a real reset instead of a doom-scroll.
- 3Repeat, then rest
After four focus sprints you get a longer break. Keep the loop going for a couple of hours of clean, sustainable focus.

Pomodoro timer FAQ
Is this Pomodoro timer free?+
Yes — it runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up and no download. Set your focus and break lengths and press start.
What's the breathing break?+
Instead of a blank pause, each break shows a slow breathing bubble at about six breaths a minute (coherent breathing) so you actually reset your nervous system before the next sprint. The Inhale app guides these breaks with sound and every pattern.
How does the Pomodoro method work?+
Work in focused sprints — 25 minutes is classic — then take a short break. After four sprints, take a longer break. It keeps attention fresh and stops burnout.
Can I change the focus and break length?+
Yes — use the steppers under the timer to set focus (5–60 min) and break (1–20 min). A long break runs after every four focus sprints.
