Using a pomodoro timer to study
A tiny web app that helped me focus while learning to code.
A few months ago I needed something simple to help me study more efficiently, so I built a small pomodoro timer as a web page.
Why a timer helped
Splitting work into 25 minute blocks made it much easier to start. Knowing there was a break coming kept me from grabbing my phone every two minutes.
What the timer does
- Simple start / pause / reset controls.
- Work and break phases with different colors.
- No sign‑up, just open the page and focus.
The page now lives as a project inside my portfolio, so the pomodoro timer is still around even though the main site turned into this portfolio.
