Pomodoro Timer
Make room for focus
Start with 25 minutes of attention and a 5-minute break, or choose durations that suit your day.
Keep your rhythm
Pause when life interrupts. Close to the tray while Rust keeps the timer running in the background.
Keep it local
No account or cloud sync. Your preferences stay on your computer, and the app works offline.
Your focus & rest flow
Three simple steps.
A small routine for the task in front of you, with space to recharge between sessions.

Click the tray icon to reopen
Focus on one thing
Keep the session small and specific. A draft, one fix, or a page of reading is a place to start.
Give the break some space
Step away from the screen. The next focus phase starts automatically when your break ends.
Pause without losing your place
Pause freezes the remaining time. Resume continues from there, and Reset returns to a fresh session.

Frequently asked questions.
How do I install it?
Download PomodoroTimer.exe, put it in a folder you want to keep, and run it. This Windows x64 build needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. No account or Node.js installation is needed.
Where are preferences saved?
Settings stay in %APPDATA%\PomodoroTimer\settings.json. Valid settings from the previous C# version are accepted. The app does not collect work logs or sync to a server.
Can I pause or change a running session?
Pause and Resume keep your place. Reset ends the run and returns to the configured focus duration. Settings edits apply to the next run, so active sessions keep their original durations and cycle count.
How does the tray work?
With Close to system tray enabled, closing the window keeps the timer running. Click the icon once to reopen; right-click for Open and Exit. Optional notifications and sound announce phase changes. Portable notifications use Windows' built-in PowerShell host, which may appear as the sender.
What happens when the app quits?
Exit ends the run. Sessions are not restored after restarting. Every cycle includes a break, including the last cycle. Windows notification settings may suppress desktop alerts.
