Our Story
25MinuteTimer was born from frustration. We tried every Pomodoro app on the market, and they all fell short. Some were too rigid, forcing breaks when we were finally focused. Others were too expensive, hiding basic features behind paywalls. Many were overcomplicated, requiring accounts and configurations before we could even start a timer.
We wanted something simple. A timer that worked when we opened it. That respected flow states instead of interrupting them. That didn't require an email address or credit card. Something that just worked.
So we built it ourselves. We started with the basics: a clean timer, flexible session lengths, and optional breaks. But we didn't stop there. We added flow state protection that detects when you're hyperfocused. We built a stats dashboard to track your progress over time. We created specialized modes for developers, students, and neurodivergent users.
Today, thousands of people use 25MinuteTimer to stay focused and productive. We're constantly improving based on user feedback, always keeping our core values in mind: simplicity, flexibility, and respect for the user.
