whyDontI / terminal-pomodoro

Light, but distracting pomodoro timer!

Visually disruptive Pomodoros right in your tmux panes

Had a hard time keeping track of my time (and stopping for breaks!) in my normal TMUX workflow, so I hacked together a series of commands and scripts to make it very obvious when my time was up.

---

Run Pomodoros in a small window or tmux pane to keep track of time

Take 5 minute breaks full screen to keep you from working

Quickstart

1. Clone repository
2. Install Figlet, and lolcat packages
3. Run ./pomodoro.sh, then ./break_5_min.sh

Features

1. Easy to read clock
2. Randomly colored distracting "alarm" when time runs out
3. Runs entirely in a terminal window
4. Exits very gracefully with Ctrl+C
5. Easy to update! (Just change the script yourself!)
6. Simplified! (Doesn't track anything or judge you!)
7. Supports 30 minute breaks (if you change the 300 to a 1800!)
8. Organic, free range, fair trade, gluten free, carbon-centric 1s and 0s
9. 99.999% Filthy Frank
