🍅 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 do it, and how long you expect it will 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

pomo depends on the libnotify client package, a notification server (installed with most Linux desktop environments), and SQLite.

Binaries are available in the releases section on github.
