Pomodoro CLI

🍅 pomo

pomo is a simple CLI for using the Pomodoro Technique. There are some amazing task management systems but pomo is more of a task execution or timeboxing system. pomo helps you track what you did, how long it took you to do it, and how much effort you expect it to take.

Background

The Pomodoro Technique is simple and effective:

• Decide on a task you want to accomplish
• Break the task into timed intervals (pomodoros), [approx. 25 min]
• After each pomodoro take a short break [approx. 3 - 5 min]
• Once all pomodoros are completed take a longer break [approx 15 - 20 min]
• Repeat

The Pomo CLI can output the current state of a running task session via the pomo status making it easy to script and embed it's output in various Linux status bars.

Polybar

You can create a module with the custom/script type and embed Pomo's status output in your Polybar:

[module/pomo]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
