## What it does

@LiveTimerBot is a pomodoro timer for study, work and focus that puts a live countdown into a chat message: the numbers tick before your eyes, and when time's up the bot sends a separate message, so you get an ordinary Telegram notification with sound. The 🍅 pomodoro gives you 25 minutes of work, then offers a 5-minute break and, after it, the next round. Plain timers work too: type a time such as 10, 10m tea or 25:00, or tap a preset. Under the timer: ⏹ Stop, +1 min and +5 min.

- 10, 10m tea, 1h30m, 90s, 25:00, 1:30:00 — the text after the time becomes the label
- Presets: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 🍅 25, 30 and 60 minutes
- ⏹ Stop, +1 min and +5 min under the timer
- 🍅 Pomodoro: 25 minutes of work → ☕ 5-minute break → 🍅 another 25
- Up to 5 timers at once

## How to use it in 3 steps

1.  Open the bot and tap **Start**.
2.  Type a time, for example 10m tea or 25:00, or tap a preset.
3.  Watch the countdown in the message. When time's up, the bot sends **⏰ Time's up!**

## Limits

- From 5 seconds to 24 hours; up to 5 timers at once.
- Works only in a private chat with the bot.
- The live countdown needs a recent Telegram app; an older one shows only the caption with the time. The ring comes either way.

## Is it free?

Yes, completely. There are no daily limits.

## Privacy

For each timer the bot keeps the chat, the message number, the label and the end time — until it rings and one more day, so the +1 and +5 buttons keep working. Then it is deleted automatically; /forget deletes it at once.

Type /privacy in the bot to see everything it stores and to delete your data. More on the [privacy page](https://handybots.tools/en/privacy/) .

## Frequently asked questions

**Will the timer ring if Telegram is closed?**

Yes. When time's up the bot sends a separate message, so you get a normal Telegram notification with sound — as long as notifications for this chat are on.

**I see “Update Telegram” instead of the countdown.**

Your Telegram app is too old to show a live countdown in a message. Update it. The timer runs on the bot's side anyway, and the ring arrives on time.

**How does the pomodoro work?**

Tap 🍅 25 min: 25 minutes of work. When it rings, tap ☕ 5-min break; when the break is over, 🍅 Another 25 min starts the next round.

**Do I need Telegram Premium to use @LiveTimerBot?**

No. @LiveTimerBot works for everyone, with or without Telegram Premium. Free, no daily limit.
