Best Pomodoro timers (silent & minimal)

Simple, quiet timers help you stick to 25/5 or 50/10 intervals without app distractions.

Display & controls

Look for physical controls and large digits; silent or low-volume beeps are ideal.

Some stick to metal monitor arms; others stand on the desk.

Flip to set duration instantly; satisfying for short breaks.

Big digits; good visibility across the desk.

Optional tracking via app; keep notifications off for focus.

Are phone apps enough?

Physical timers reduce temptation to check other apps.

What intervals are best?

Try 25/5 to start; adjust based on your work type.
