The beauty of the Pomodoro Technique is its simplicity. You don't need eight inboxes and three filing cabinets to get it to work. Any timer, whether it's digital or analog, can do.
Still, the good Pomodoro timer apps and there are lots of them bring a little bit more to the system. The best Pomodoro timers do more than the stopwatch app on your phone. How much more depends on what you're looking for. Some just automate the process of swapping between work and break periods; others track how you spend your time or sync between your different devices.
The best apps are as simple as the Pomodoro Technique to use, nice to look at, and don't add any extra distractions. Setting a timer shouldn't be a burden. Any developer can build a timer app, and there are a lot of poorly thought out, half-finished, and otherwise awful apps out there—none of them are on this list, I promise.
The best timers are pretty productivity process agnostic —you can use them on their own or with whatever other apps you like. The Pomodoro Technique is something that most people use on top of other productivity practices. You probably already have a to-do list and calendar app, so you're not going to move everything over to a half-timer-half-to-do app.
The best timer apps accommodate personalization. Cirillo only settled on the four sessions of 25 minutes with a 5-minute break through trial and error.
They aren't magic productivity numbers. As you use the Pomodoro Technique, you're likely to find that you want to make some tweaks. I personally prefer my work blocks to be 35 minutes long when I'm writing because I can get into more of a flow. For boring admin stuff, I'll do minute blocks. Any Pomodoro Timer that made the list had to be up to date and under active development or maintenance.
These kinds of apps seem to be a super common practice project for independent developers, so there are a lot of apps out there that haven't been maintained. While they might still work, they're likely to break in the future. So, that's what we were looking for in our apps. Let's get to the best six. Pomodor Web. It's hard to beat the convenience of the timer app on your smartphone, but Pomodor comes close. It's a simple, good-looking, web-based Pomodoro timer that's perfect for anyone just curious to try it out or who only occasionally needs a Pomodoro app.
Just hit the Play button, and it'll start cycling through full Pomodoro sessions—with the countdown on display in the URL title bar. There are lots of timer websites out there, but Pomodor stands out from the mediocre masses for a couple of reasons.
You can customize the length of the work and break periods as well as the number of Pomodoros you do before a long break, so you can fit it into how you like to work.
Just go to Settings in the left sidebar to customize it all. Also, you can set up a free account, which then allows you to track how much work you get done on any given day. Click Add Label on the timer to list what you're working on for each Pomodoro, so it's all categorized properly. Really, as a default go-to timer that you don't need to install anything to use, Pomodor is perfect.
There are better, more fully-featured timers available if that's what you're looking for. But for most people, Pomodor is easy to recommend. Pomodor Price: Free, with donations to the site designer recommended. Marinara Timer Web. The Pomodoro Technique is normally a personal productivity practice, but it's incredibly effective for small groups of people working together—either in-person or online.
You work for 25 minutes, then spend 5 minutes discussing what you're doing. And repeat. Not many Pomodoro timers are set up to be used like this, however, which is why web-based Marinara Timer makes our list—despite its dated look. Marinara Timer is as simple as it comes: you don't even need an account to share timers.
When you open the website, you're presented with three timer options: Pomodoro, Custom, and Kitchen. Where Marinara Timer really stands out other than the bad design is that you can share timers. Each one has a unique URL that you can send to your coworkers in other locations. That way, everyone can work off the same countdown. You can customize the link text just click Manage and even create an administrator link, so other people can reset the timer as needed.
Marinara Timer Price: Free. Forest iOS, Android. If your smartphone is your biggest source of distraction, Forest is a clever—and very cute—way to fix it. The idea is that whenever you want to stay focused, you plant a tree. As you work and the timer counts down, the tree grows on your phone screen in front of you.
If you leave the app, it withers and dies. Every focus session you complete plants that tree in your forest, which grows over the days and weeks you use the app. You also unlock coins, so you can get new trees or even plant a real one.
It's a classic bit of gamification that's surprisingly effective. Forest's cutesy image belies some powerful functionality. You can tag your work periods by what you're doing, and the analytics track when you're most productive. It even provides trends, and, if you get your friends or coworkers on board, you can compete to see who's most productive—or work together to plant trees.
Still, of all the smartphone timers we considered, it's the one that really stood apart like a mighty oak? If you want something more traditional and tomato-inspired, you could also try BeFocused for iOS or Engross on Android.
