52 Minute Pomodoro Timer

Fifty-two minutes is the sprint from the famous 52/17 rule — the work interval a productivity study found most-used by the most focused people, before a deliberate 17-minute break.

About the 52 Minute Pomodoro Timer

Fifty-two minutes is the focus half of the 52/17 rhythm — the shrinking dial keeps you in the work until it's time for the deliberate, restorative break that makes the method work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 52 minute pomodoro timer keep accurate time in the background?

Yes. It counts down against the real clock rather than ticking in the tab, so your 52 minute pomodoro timer stays accurate even if you switch tabs or lock your screen — and the alarm still sounds at zero.

Can I change the duration, or switch away from the pomodoro clockface?

This page opens preset to 52 minutes on the Pomodoro clockface, but you can set any duration and switch to a different clockface at any time using the controls below the timer.
