The Pomodoro Technique was created in the late 1980s by Italian developer Francesco Cirillo, who used a tomato-shaped kitchen timer to structure his study sessions — which is exactly where the name "pomodoro" (Italian for tomato) comes from. The logic is simple and powerful: work with full focus for 25 minutes, then rest for 5. After four complete cycles, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes to properly recharge.
4Pomodoro takes that decades-old idea and turns it into a complete tool: a circular timer dial, a task list with pomodoro estimates, color-coded projects, visual productivity reports, ambient sounds for deeper immersion, and a distraction-free fullscreen focus mode.
Set how many pomodoros a task should take and track progress pip by pip.
Organize tasks by project and filter your list down to exactly what matters right now.
A 7-day chart, total pomodoros, focused hours, and your current streak of active days.
Hide the rest of the interface and watch just the dial and your current task.
Rain, white noise, forest, ocean waves, or café — to mask distractions around you.
Control everything without touching the mouse: space to start, S to skip, R to reset.
An interface tuned for day or night use, without straining your eyes.
Know the moment a pomodoro ends, even if you're on another tab.
