A 25-minute timer with a task list and nothing else on the screen.
Pomofocus runs the standard pomodoro cycle — work, short break, long break — beside a task list where you estimate how many rounds each item will take, then watch the estimate be wrong. Everything is kept in the browser unless you sign in, so it works the second the tab opens. Clearing your site data clears the history with it.
AltFTool does this too
If you would rather not leave the site, Pomodoro Timer covers the same job here — free, no account, and it runs in your browser.

No. Pomofocus does the work inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device — you can load the page, disconnect from the network, and it still works. That makes it a reasonable choice for material containing personal data.
