Pomodoro Focus Timer Screensaver
The Pomodoro Focus Timer screensaver runs a real live Pomodoro-technique timer, cycling between 25-minute work sessions and short breaks. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Pomodoro Focus Timer screensaver works
The saver runs a real, live countdown following the classic Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focused work, then a 5-minute break.
After four work sessions, a longer break is automatically inserted, exactly like the real technique's standard cycle.
The current phase — work or break — is clearly labeled with its own live countdown.
The cycle repeats indefinitely as long as the screensaver is running.
A worked example
A 25-minute work session counts down to zero, automatically switching to a real 5-minute break countdown before returning to the next work session.
