A timer that ends in music
The pomodoro technique is simple: work for a set time, take a short break, repeat. The classic rhythm is 25 minutes of focus and 5 of rest, four times; many people prefer 50 and 10 for deeper work.
This timer is built into the music. While you focus, Neverloop's Deep Work plays: slow chords, soft bells, no beat. In the break the music rests and only the noise or rain stays. When a focus round ends, the piece does not stop dead or ring a bell: it winds down and settles on its home chord.
How to use it
- Press 25 + 5 × 4 or 50 + 10 × 4. The ring shows the time left and the round.
- Pick a mood: brown noise under the chords, a darker night desk, or rain on the window.
- Stop timer ends it; the music keeps playing.
In the app
The Neverloop app builds any cycle: your own focus and break lengths, any number of rounds or endless, and it keeps time with the screen locked.
