# 🍅 pomo

![pomo](https://github.com/kevinschoon/pomo/workflows/pomo/badge.svg)

`pomo` is a simple CLI for using the [Pomodoro Technique](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). There are [some](https://taskwarrior.org/) [amazing](https://todoist.com/) task management systems but `pomo` is more of a task *execution* or [timeboxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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

## Installation

### Source

 ```bash
 git clone git@github.com:kevinschoon/pomo.git
 cd pomo
 make
 # copy pomo somewhere on your $PATH
 cp bin/pomo ~/bin/
 ```

### Package Managers

On Arch Pomo is available on the [aur](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pomo).

On macOS, `pomo` can be installed via [MacPorts](https://ports.macports.org/port/pomo/).

## Usage

Once `pomo` is installed you need to initialize it's database.

``` bash
pomo init
```

Start a 4 pomodoro session at 25 minute intervals:
```bash
pomo start -t my-project "write some codes"
```

## Configuration

Pomo has a few configuration options which can be read from a JSON file in Pomo's config directory `~/.config/pomo/config.json`.

### colors

You can map colors to specific tags in the `colors` field.

Example:
```json
{
    "colors": {
        "my-project": "hiyellow",
        "another-project": "green"
    }
}
```

## Integrations

By default pomo will setup a Unix socket and serve it's status there.

```bash
echo | socat stdio UNIX-CONNECT:$HOME/.pomo/pomo.sock | jq .
{
  "state": 1,
  "remaining": 1492000000000,
  "count": 0,
  "n_pomodoros": 4
}
```

Alternately by setting the `publish` flag to `true` it will publish it's status
to an existing socket.

### Status Bars

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](https://github.com/jaagr/polybar)

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

```ini
[module/pomo]
type = custom/script
interval = 1
exec = pomo status
```

#### [luastatus](https://github.com/shdown/luastatus)

Configured this bar by setting `publish` to `true`.

```lua
widget = {
	plugin = "unixsock",
	opts = {
		path = "pomo.sock",
		timeout = 2,
	},
	cb = function(t)
		local full_text
		local foreground = ""
		local background = ""
		if t.what == "line" then
			if string.match(t.line, "R") then
				-- green
				foreground = "#ffffff"
				background = "#307335"
			end
			if string.match(t.line, "B") or string.match(t.line, "P") or string.match(t.line, "C") then
				-- red
				foreground = "#ffffff"
				background = "ff8080"
			end
			return { full_text = t.line, background = background, foreground = foreground }
		elseif t.what == "timeout" then
			return { full_text = "-" }
		elseif t.what == "hello" then
			return { full_text = "-" }
		end
	end,
}

```
