Pomodoro timer

A Pomodoro timer that actually moves your prep forward.

Lighthouse Prep runs Pomodoro sessions tied to a real plan — each 25-minute block counts toward a topic you're studying for an actual exam.

A Pomodoro app on its own is just a clock with a five-minute beep. Useful, but it doesn't tell you whether the 25 minutes you just spent moved you closer to your exam.

Lighthouse Prep does both. The timer runs your focused session — and every session counts against a topic in your AI-generated study plan.

How it works

Open today's plan. You see today's sessions — say, "Quantitative Aptitude: Time and Work, 45 min".
Start the session. The timer counts up (or down in Pomodoro mode) while you study.
Take a break when the cycle ends. The next Pomodoro is queued.
End the session. Time is logged against the topic. Your plan moves forward.

You don't decide what to study each Pomodoro — the plan already decided. You just press start.

Pomodoro intervals you can use

Classic 25/5 — short bursts, frequent breaks. Best for memorisation, reading, low-focus days.
50/10 — longer concentration. Good for problem solving, Maths, Reasoning.
90/20 — deep work. Engineering subjects, long-form analysis, complex topics.

You can switch styles per session.

Why the timer matters

Three reasons a structured timer beats raw self-discipline:

Visibility. You see your real study hours daily, weekly, monthly. No more "I think I studied a lot today".
Distraction control. Tagging wastage in real time builds awareness of where your focus breaks.
Progress alignment. Sessions are tied to real topics, so the timer drives genuine syllabus coverage.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a strict 25/5 Pomodoro timer?

It runs Pomodoro by default but you can customise the work and break durations. Many users find 50/10 or 90/20 cycles work better for deep subjects like Maths or Engineering. Pick what suits you.

How is this better than a standalone Pomodoro app?

A standalone timer is just a clock. Lighthouse Prep ties every Pomodoro session to a topic in your study plan, so the time you put in is recorded against real syllabus progress — not just a daily count.

Does it track wastage if I get distracted mid-session?

Yes. You can tag wastage during a session — that time gets logged separately. Over weeks, you see exactly which sessions break your focus.

Can I use it for non-exam study?

Absolutely. The timer works for any study, but you get more value when it's tied to a structured plan.

Is it free?

Yes — the timer and all core features are free.
