Why use a task timer?
Generic timers count minutes; a task timer counts progress. By attaching each session to a specific task, you turn a vague to-do list into measurable focused work — and finally see which tasks actually eat your day.
Finish your to-do list
Working one task at a time, on a timer, removes overwhelm. You pick the next task, start the clock, and make visible progress instead of multitasking yourself into a stall.
Know where time really goes
Every timed session is logged against its task, so you can see which tasks consume your hours and plan more realistically.
Estimate tasks better
Once you've timed similar tasks, you can predict how long work takes — leading to better deadlines and fewer surprises.
Stay consistent
Per-task and overall streaks keep you returning to what matters, turning focused work into a daily habit.
How to use the task timer
- 1Add the task you want to work on.
- 2Pick a focus / break length above the timer — 15/5, the classic 25/5 or 50/10 for deep work.
- 3Press start and work on that one task until the timer rings.
- 4Take a break, pick the next task, repeat. Sign in to save your task history.
A to-do list with a timer built in
Most people keep their to-do list in one app and their timer in another, and lose a little focus every time they switch. In PomoClass they're the same screen: pick a task from your list, press Start, and the session is logged on that task. Tick it off, and the next one is already waiting.
Your list right next to the clock
Tasks sit beside the timer, so choosing what to work on next takes one click — no tab switching.
Every session counted on its task
Each finished Pomodoro is added to the task you were working on, so you can see how many sessions every item really took.
