A Pomofocus Alternative: Free, Minimal, No Login

Pomofocus is a popular Pomodoro timer, and it does a lot: task lists, reports, integrations. If you just want a timer that opens instantly and stays out of your way, this is a lightweight alternative. Press play and you're working.

What this timer does differently

No account, no ads. Nothing to sign up for, nothing blinking at the edge of the page.
Always-on-top pop-out window. Keep the countdown visible over your editor or a video call. See the always-on-top timer.
Any length from 1 to 90 minutes with +5 / −5 buttons, so you're not locked into 25/5.
A calm look. Try the aesthetic matcha theme.
No tracking cookies. Free, and it stays that way.

What it does not do

There are no task lists, no long-term statistics and no team features. If you rely on those, Pomofocus or a full task app is the better fit. This timer is deliberately small.

Pick your length

25 minutes for the classic Pomodoro, 45 or 90 for deep work, 10 if starting is hard.
