Features

Focus and break, cycling on their own.

Phase switching and recording — all automatic. You just focus.

25 min focus + 5 min break, auto-cycled

When focus ends, it moves to a break automatically; when the break ends, it moves back to focus. You never have to manage the switch yourself.

A longer break every 4 sets

By default, a longer break follows every 4 completed focus periods. You can change the number of sets anytime.

Every duration is customizable

Set the length of focus, short break, and long break, plus the set count, to match your own study style.

Focus blocks flow into your study record

Each completed focus block is auto-saved to your study record, just like the normal timer. Break time is never recorded.

Guide

25 minutes is a starting point, not a rule

The classic Pomodoro form is 25 minutes on, 5 off — but the right length differs from person to person. MonoStudy's Pomodoro timer is built so you can adjust it freely.

Both the timing and the set count are yours to set

The length of focus, short break, and long break are each fully adjustable, and so is the number of sets before the long break. If 25/5 doesn't feel right, try shorter blocks for memorization-heavy work or longer ones for reading comprehension, and adjust to match the subject and how you're feeling.

Auto-advance when it's over, with a notification either way

Turn on auto-continue and it moves to the next phase automatically each time one ends. Turn it off and it waits at the end of each phase for you to advance it. Either way, you get a notification when a phase ends, so you don't have to keep watching the screen.

Only the time you actually focused builds up your record

Every time a focus block completes, that time is saved as a regular study record, the same as the normal timer. Break time is never recorded, so what shows up in your study stats is only the time you actually spent focused. Each Pomodoro block becomes part of the day's total, one at a time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pomodoro timer free to use?
No. The Pomodoro timer is a Premium (¥280/month) feature. Free plans still see the mode switch on the home timer, but selecting it opens the Premium upsell instead of switching modes.
Can I change the length of each phase?
Yes. You can set the length of the focus period, the short break, and the long break, plus how many sets pass before the long break — all to match your own study style.
Where does my focus time get recorded?
Every completed focus block is saved as a regular study record, just like the normal timer, and flows straight into your stats charts and goal progress. Break time is never recorded.
What happens if I stop partway through a set?
The focus time up to the point you stopped is saved as that session's record. The next time you start, it begins as a new set.
Do I get a notification when a phase ends?
Yes. You're notified when a focus period or break ends. On iPhone, the current phase (focus or break) and remaining time can also show on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
Does it move to the next phase automatically?
That depends on your setting. Turn on auto-continue and it moves to the next phase automatically each time one ends. Turn it off and it waits at the end of each phase until you advance it yourself.

So, break your focus into blocks.

25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break, straight into your record.
