25 min focus · 5 min break · auto-repeats. Save your streaks in the full app.
A study timer turns "study for hours" into concrete, winnable rounds. This one uses the Pomodoro rhythm — 25 minutes of focused study, then a 5-minute break, repeating — so starting is never overwhelming and your attention stays fresh across a whole session.
Study one subject per round and keep your phone out of reach. When the block ends, the clock chimes and rolls straight into a break, then back to focus — you never have to reset anything.
Tip: Running a study-with-me session? Hit fullscreen and put the flip clock on a second screen — calm enough to ignore, satisfying enough to glance at.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best timer for studying?
A Pomodoro-style timer works best for most people: study in focused 25-minute blocks with 5-minute breaks. The fixed rounds make a long study session feel winnable and keep attention fresh.
How long should I study before taking a break?
Around 25 minutes for focused study, then a 5-minute break. After four rounds, take a longer 15–30 minute break. If you reach flow easily, try 50-minute blocks with 10-minute breaks.
Can I use this study timer for study-with-me videos?
Yes. Press the fullscreen button for a clean, distraction-free flip clock that looks great on a second monitor or in a screen recording.
Is the study timer free?
Completely free with no signup. An optional free account only saves your streaks and study stats.
