Free Pomodoro timer
The Pomodoro timer that gets you moving
Focus for 25 minutes on a calm scene. When the timer ends, Pomodoroll walks you through a one-minute stretch you can do at your desk, then your break.
Runs in your browser. No account needed.
How a round works
Focus 25 min
One task, a calm scene, nothing else on the screen.
Move about 1 min
A guided stretch with a video and its steps, timed for you.
Break 5 min
Then rest. Every fourth break is a longer one.
Why I made it
I'm a developer, and long days at the desk left my back and neck sore. Long, unbroken sitting is what studies link to health risks, so Pomodoroll turns every break into a reason to stand up.
What's in Pomodoroll
Work on a calm scene. When the session ends, stand up for a one-minute stretch. Then a short break, and again.
A one-minute stretch after every focus
When a focus session ends, Pomodoroll shows a short stretch with a video and its steps, timed for you: neck, shoulders, wrists, back, legs. Most can be done at your desk.
Sit or stand
Choose sitting or standing on the Start button. Today counts both, so at the end of the day you can see how long you sat.
See your day and your streaks
Today shows your focus sessions, stretches and breaks so far. Premium keeps the history: charts by day and week, a calendar of your days, and your streaks.
Music that follows the timer
Play a focus playlist from Spotify, or your own. Turn on one switch and it starts and pauses with the timer.
On your phone, like an app
Add Pomodoroll to your home screen. It opens full screen, works offline after your first visit, and keeps the screen on while the timer runs.

Questions
What is the Pomodoro Technique?
A way to work in focused blocks: usually 25 minutes of work, then a short break, and a longer break after every fourth block. It is named after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer Francesco Cirillo used as a student.
How does Pomodoroll work?
Press Start and focus for 25 minutes. Then comes Move: a one-minute stretch you can do at your desk, shown in a short video, one step at a time. Then a 5-minute break, and after every fourth Focus a 10-minute long break. You can change the lengths in Settings.
Why is the stretch only one minute?
So that you do it every time. A minute fits into any day, even in an office, and doing it every half hour turns it into a habit. The point is to get up and move often, not to work out.
Why break up long periods of sitting?
Hours in the same position leave many people stiff in the neck and back and low on energy. Getting up for a minute every half hour is an easy way to break those hours up, and the timer reminds you when.
Do I need an account?
No. The timer, the stretches and the breaks work in your browser without signing in. An account keeps your stats and streaks, and a new account gets 14 days of Premium free.
What does Premium add?
More stretches and choosing the body areas they work on, video scenes, the Report with your streaks, your own timer rules, webhooks and the website blocker. It is $1.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
