The tool application will be added in the next phase.
A ready-made 2-hour focus session: 50 minutes of study, a 10-minute break, another 50 minutes, then a 10-minute cool-down. Nothing to set up — press Start and begin.
Why this Pomodoro uses 50-minute focus blocks
The classic Pomodoro pattern is 25 minutes of work and a 5-minute break. It works well for small, separate tasks, but longer work often needs more runway.
Reading a chapter, writing an essay section, working through past exam papers, or debugging code usually takes a while to get into. A 50-minute block gives you room to settle in and stay with one thing instead of stopping just as you get going.
That is the whole idea behind this page. One fixed structure, two long focus blocks, short breaks in between. You do not choose settings, you just start.
How the 2-hour session works
The session runs in four stages, in this order:
- Study — 50 minutes
- Break — 10 minutes
- Study — 50 minutes
- Cool-down — 10 minutes
A progress bar shows where you are across the full two hours, so you can see how much of the session is left at a glance. Before you start, the page shows the current time and the time the session will finish, so you know what you are committing to.
How to use the Pomodoro timer
If you refresh the page in the middle of a session, it can pick up from where you were. While you are working in another browser tab, the countdown still shows in the tab title. On supported devices the screen stays awake while the session runs.
What the colors and sounds mean
The page changes appearance so you can tell which stage you are in without reading the numbers.
- Deep navy, dark theme — you are in a study block.
- Deep green, dark theme — you are on a break.
A bell marks the switch between stages. A different bell marks the end of the second study block, so you know the focus work is done and the cool-down has started.
Background audio is optional and off by default. When you turn it on, study blocks can use white noise and breaks can use calmer music.

Tips for using this 50/10 focus session
Get everything ready before you press Start — books, files, notes, water. The first minutes of a block are worth more than the last.
Pick one main task for each 50-minute block. Switching between three things inside one block undoes most of the benefit.
Use the break properly. Stand up, stretch, drink water, look away from the screen. Ten minutes of scrolling is not a break.
Close the apps you know will pull you away. Put your phone somewhere you have to stand up to reach it.
Try fullscreen if you find the rest of the page distracting.
If two hours is more than you have today, a single 50-minute block still counts. Stop after the first break.
