Study Streak: free Pomodoro technique game in 60 seconds
Focus blocks and breaks: find the rhythm that works.
What is Study Streak?
A whole study afternoon, from 16:00 to 18:30, squeezed into one minute: every second is 2.5 minutes. Switch between focus and breaks with a tomato timer and find the Pomodoro rhythm: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer 15 to 30 minute break after four pomodoros.
Study Streak is a free one-minute game about the Pomodoro Technique. Time runs fast, 2.5 minutes every second, from 16:00 to 18:30, and a tomato timer counts each block. Press the big button to switch between focus and a break, and try to hit the rhythm: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes after four pomodoros.
Focus minutes earn pages, but attention fades after 25 minutes, so the extra minutes count for less. Stop too early and the pomodoro doesn't count; skip the long break and you study tired. Every switch is judged and explained, and well-timed switches in a row multiply your points.

What it trains
- The Pomodoro rhythm
- 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer 15–30 minute break after four.
- Stopping on time
- Taking the break when the timer rings keeps attention fresh for the next round.
- Resting on purpose
- Short breaks stay short, and the long break is what stops you studying tired.
Strategy and tips
- Wait for the ring
- The timer rings at 25 minutes of focus. Switching right after it is a perfect pomodoro.
- Keep breaks short
- About 5 minutes. Longer and the study mood drifts away.
- Count your tomatoes
- Four tomatoes light up as you finish pomodoros. When all four are lit, the next break is the long one.
- Don't skip the long break
- 15 to 30 minutes after four pomodoros. Skip it and every next focus block tires out sooner.
- Build the streak
- Three well-timed switches in a row double your bonus, six triple it.
Why play Study Streak?
The Pomodoro Technique splits work into short, timed rounds with planned breaks, which makes starting easier and keeps attention fresher. The game compresses an afternoon into a minute so the rhythm becomes something you can feel, not just read about.
Frequently asked questions
Is Study Streak free?
Yes. It is free and runs in your browser, with no download. Signing up is optional.
What is a pomodoro?
One round of 25 minutes of focus on a single task. Pomodoro is Italian for tomato, after the tomato-shaped kitchen timer the technique is named after.
Why does a short focus block not count?
In the Pomodoro Technique, a pomodoro that's cut short doesn't count: you start a fresh one. The game follows that rule.
Do I have to use exactly 25 and 5 minutes?
In real life you can adapt the lengths to what works for you. The game rewards the classic 25 / 5 / long break rhythm so you can learn it first.
