Pomodoro Timer for ADHD
15:00
Tap the circle to start. Hold it to cancel.
Make time visible
Many people with ADHD say the hardest parts are starting a task and noticing how much time has passed. A visible timer helps with both: the dial empties as the minutes go by, and a bell tells you when to stop. This page starts with shorter 15-minute sessions. Change them any time in Settings.
Why a visible timer helps
When time feels invisible, a task can seem endless or an hour can vanish. Watching the dial empty makes time concrete, and a short, fixed session is easier to begin than “work on it until it is done”. Reviewers of our Android app often mention ADHD as the reason they use it.
This page is not medical advice. If you have, or think you have, ADHD, a doctor can help you find what works for you.
Tips people find useful
- Start shorter than you think: 10 or 15 minutes, then build up.
- Write the one thing you are doing on paper next to you.
- Keep the timer visible on screen rather than hidden in another tab.
- Use breaks to move your body.
- Some people work better alongside someone else, in person or on a video call ("body doubling").
The same timer on your phone and tablet
Pomodoro Timer for Android has the same look and the same one-tap timer, on phones, tablets and foldables.
Questions
Why does this page start with 15 minutes?
