Pomodoro Timer for Terminal
The Pomodoro Technique is one of the most popular productivity / time management techniques around.
As programmers, we spend a lot of time in the terminal - and so I decided to build a super simple Pomodoro timer for the terminal.
⬇️ Get it here.
The timer is implemented as a simple shell script, so you can simply source it to use the pomodoro command.
source pomodoro.sh
To start the timer, run:
pomodoro
A pomodoro consists of four work intervals with intermediate breaks:
Work (25 min) - Short Break (5 min)
Work (25 min) - Short Break (5 min)
Work (25 min) - Short Break (5 min)
Work (25 min) - Long Break (25 min)
You can customize the lengths of the work and break intervals.
For example, a work interval of 10 min (600s) with a 1 min (60s) short break and 2 min (120s) long break could be set like this:
pomodoro -w 600 -s 60 -l 120
Beyond the countdown visible in the terminal, you will also get a notification whenever you start a work or break interval. (Notifications are only supported on Mac OS - sorry).
You can turn off the notifications if you want:
pomodoro --quiet
Happy working!
