Pomofocus
FreeCustomizable Pomodoro timer in the browser with task lists, estimated pomodoros per task, and daily focus reports. No account required to start a session.
Why we recommend Pomofocus
Pomofocus is the rare productivity tool that does exactly one thing and resists scope creep: a Pomodoro timer you can open and start in two seconds, with just enough structure (tasks, estimated pomodoros, configurable intervals) to plan a day of focused work. No signup wall, no onboarding tour — the timer is the landing page.
Best use cases
Best for: students in exam season, developers timeboxing deep work, and anyone testing whether the Pomodoro technique works for them before investing in a paid focus app. The task list with per-task pomodoro estimates turns a vague to-do list into a realistic daily plan.
Honest limitations
Reports beyond the current day require the paid tier, and there is no team or calendar integration. The web tab must stay open for notifications to fire reliably; if you want strict website blocking during focus sessions, you need a separate blocker extension.
