Pausetimer — a minimal online pause timer

A clean, free countdown timer that gets out of the way. Set any duration and hit start, or turn on repeat-with-breaks for focus and pomodoro-style work sessions. No signup, no app install.

How it works

1. Pick a duration (or a preset number of minutes).
2. Press Start — a large ring counts down to zero.
3. Optionally enable repeat with breaks to cycle focus and rest automatically.
