The Pomodoro Technique is a helpful method of breaking tasks into intervals of work and break. A number of tools already exist for timing and tracking there intervals, but they all have one thing in common: they are incredibly slow. Flying Tomato seeks to solve that problem.
Being built in Rust, this Pomodoro timer is memory-safe, cross-platform, and blazing fast. Where most timers can take as long as 25 minutes to get through a work interval, Flying Tomato completes that same interval in under 25 seconds!
Note: it only looks like it's skipping numbers because it's so blazing fast that the framerate can't keep up
To install Flying Tomato, you can either build from source or download the appropriate executable from the Releases page.
- In your terminal, navigate to wherever you've placed the executable (or add it to PATH)
- Execute the executable
- Blaze through work intervals faster than you ever have before!

That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.
Correct -
Why are you picking on Rust?
Because I really love Rust, but it's kinda silly that so many Rust projects feel obligated to describe themselves as "blazing fast." -
Is this going to become a real, usable Pomodoro timer?
Not at the moment. I was looking for a good way to start learning how to use thetuicrate and thought this would be a fun way to do that. I might still come back and build on this as a continued learning opportunity, though.
