The Pomodoro technique survives every productivity fad because the mechanic is dead simple: work for 25 minutes, break for 5, repeat. On Android, Goodtime: Pomodoro Timer by Adrian Cotfas is the app people land on when they want that loop without ads or an account. We built Focus Ring, a free Pomodoro timer that runs right here in your browser: a big countdown ring, adjustable session lengths, and a streak that remembers you came back. No install, no signup.
Play Focus Ring now
It loads with a 25-minute focus session already set. Tap Start and the ring begins to empty.
How to use it
Tap the Start button and the ring depletes as your focus session runs, with the remaining time shown in big digits at the center. Pause and resume as many times as you need, or reset the current session back to full length. When a focus session ends, a short chime plays (tap the speaker icon to unmute it first, since sound starts off) and the timer automatically lines up your next phase: a short break after most sessions, a longer one once you have finished four in a row. Adjust focus, short break, and long break lengths with the plus and minus steppers, and set how many sessions happen before the long break. Every completed session adds to a daily streak shown at the top, which keeps counting as long as you finish at least one focus session each day. Your settings, session count, and streak are saved on your device only; nothing leaves your browser.
How it compares to Goodtime
Focus Ring keeps the part of Goodtime that actually matters day to day: a clean countdown for focus and break intervals that cycles automatically, with custom lengths and a streak to keep you honest. That is the whole loop, and it works the moment the page loads.
What we left out is everything that makes Goodtime worth installing. The real app adds a labels-based task list so each session ties to real work, weekly and monthly statistics, Do Not Disturb integration that silences notifications automatically when a session starts, a Wear OS companion, and full offline operation with no account required, ever, because the source code is open. Focus Ring has no task list and no statistics beyond a running streak.
Use Focus Ring when you want a timer open in a tab right now, between browser windows, with zero setup. Get Goodtime when Pomodoro becomes a daily habit worth tracking properly, especially if a smartwatch or a quiet phone during work blocks matters to you.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a Pomodoro timer in a browser?
Yes. Focus Ring runs entirely client-side once the page loads, with no download and no account. It works the same on a phone, tablet, or desktop browser.
Is this the official Goodtime app?
No. Focus Ring is an original tool we built, inspired by the Pomodoro timer inside Goodtime by Adrian Cotfas. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Goodtime developer in any way. For the full app with task labels, statistics, and Wear OS support, get Goodtime from the stores above.
Does the timer keep running if I close the tab?
No. Closing the tab stops the session, since nothing runs on a server. Switching to another tab or app is fine; the countdown keeps accurate time and picks up right where it should when you come back.
Is Focus Ring free?
Yes, completely. There is no signup, no download, and no usage cap. Your session count and streak are stored in your browser’s local storage on your device, so they are still there the next time you open the page.
What is the classic Pomodoro schedule?
The original method is 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break, with a longer 15 to 20 minute break after every four sessions. Focus Ring starts with those defaults, but every length is adjustable if 25/5 does not fit how you work.
