60-Minute Pomodoro Timer
This 60 minute timer is built for extended focus when you need a full hour beyond traditional Pomodoro length to plan, analyze, or build something substantial. It is ideal for research, complex problem solving, or large creative tasks. Start the timer, keep your session uninterrupted, and use Pause only for necessary breaks. Drag the timer to a clean corner of your screen or use F11 for a minimalist view. When the hour finishes, step away for a deliberate break before the next session to maintain long-term stamina.
Master Your Time with the Pomodoro Technique
