PomoTimer review
A free web-and-Windows timer with custom cycles, tasks, history, and syncing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PomoTimer is a free browser-based Pomodoro timer for focused work, studying, writing, coding, and similar tasks. It combines focus and break cycles with automatic phase switching, preset or custom durations, a built-in task list, completed-session history, and dark and light themes. Web use does not require an account, while a native Windows desktop timer extends the product beyond the browser. It is suited to individuals who want a straightforward focus timer with task tracking rather than a broader project-management system.
The entire offering is available through a Free plan at no cost. That plan includes the Pomodoro timer, custom durations, task list, session history, floating window, and desktop app. The browser timer works across platforms, while the native desktop experience is Windows-only. Desktop-to-web session synchronization becomes available after Google sign-in, giving users a way to connect activity between the Windows app and web timer. Google sign-in is the listed integration, so the ecosystem fit is focused rather than extensive.
PomoTimer’s standout feature is its floating browser window, which uses Picture-in-Picture to keep the timer visible in an always-on-top view. That can suit focused work where the timer should remain accessible without occupying a full browser tab. Local browser storage keeps unauthenticated session history tied to the web environment, while signed-in users can synchronize desktop and web sessions. Choose PomoTimer if you want a free timer with custom intervals, tasks, local history, and a Windows companion app. Consider another option if you need a native desktop app beyond Windows or broader integrations.
