Deep Work Timer

A timer designed for Cal Newport-style deep work sessions. Minimize distractions and set intentions.

Deep Work Timer is a free, browser-based focus timer from PomoDial. Set your interval, write your intention for the session, and start working — no account, no downloads, and no distractions.

How to use the deep work timer

  1. Open the timer and choose your focus duration on the dial.
  2. Write a one-line intention for what you plan to accomplish.
  3. Press start and work without switching tabs until the timer ends.
  4. Take your scheduled break, then start the next session.

PomoDial is built around the Pomodoro Technique — short, intentional bursts of deep work separated by deliberate breaks. Pair this page with the classic Pomodoro timer or explore the PomoDial blog for more focus guides.
