25 minutes and the Pomodoro® Technique
Many people use a 25-minute block for focused work. The Pomodoro® Technique, created by Francesco Cirillo, is a complete time-management method, and its creator describes the timer as only the starting point. This page is a plain 25-minute countdown; it does not plan work and break cycles for you.

How many seconds are in 25 minutes?
25 minutes is 1,500 seconds. The timer shows it as 25:00 when it is ready to start.
When will a 25 minute timer end?
Exactly 25 minutes after you press Start timer. For example, if you start at 3:00 PM it ends at 3:25 PM. While it runs, the finish time is shown under the countdown, and pausing moves it later.

Will the alarm work if I leave this tab?
