Using the Pomodoro technique with ADHD
Many people with ADHD find the Pomodoro technique helpful because short rounds with a clear end feel easier to start than an open-ended task. At the same time, 25 minutes can feel too long on a hard day. This timer lets you choose the round length, so you can start with 5, 10 or 15 minutes and change it when it stops working.
Make the rounds fit you
Try a short round for the task you have been avoiding. If you slip into a flow, you can keep going and take your break later by pausing instead of resetting. Auto-start is off by default, so a new round never begins when you are not ready; turn it on if you prefer the timer to keep you moving.
A gentler alarm
A sudden loud alarm can feel jarring. This timer ends each round with a soft two-note chime, and a quiet heads-up a minute before the end gives you time to wrap up a sentence or a thought.
See the time, not just the numbers
The disc shrinks as the round runs, so you can see how much is left at a glance without reading digits. It pairs well with the visual timer for ADHD page if you only need a single countdown. This page is a time management tool, not medical advice.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Pomodoro technique work for ADHD?
Many people with ADHD find short timed rounds helpful, while others find them stressful, so it is worth trying lengths that suit you. This page is a timer, not medical advice.
How long should a Pomodoro be with ADHD?
There is no single answer. Many people start with 5 to 15 minutes and build up, while others work well at 25 or 50. Pick a length that feels easy to start.
Can I change the Pomodoro length?
Yes. Choose a preset or set your own focus, break and long break lengths in the cycle settings.
Does the timer start the next round on its own?
Not by default. Turn on auto-start in the settings if you want focus and break rounds to flow without a click.
Is it free?
Yes. No signup, no download, and nothing is uploaded.
Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs or lock my phone?
The countdown is calculated from the clock, not by counting ticks, so the time left is always correct when you come back. Some phones pause the sound while the screen is locked, so keep this page open and the screen on if you need the chime to ring on time. The Keep screen on option helps where your browser supports it.
Does this timer save or upload anything?
No. The timer runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account. Only your last choices, such as sound on or off and the color, are remembered on your own device.
