Your github has no source code or licensing. Not sure if that was intentional or not since i see your github acct is only a few days old
It's a bot
Yeah, intentional — I wiped my old GitHub and started fresh for new projects. Files are distributed as PWYW 0$+, so default “all rights reserved” for now.
@mietkiewski_dev I had to search to see what a #Pomodoro was .. interesting - a time management technque - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro…
I prefer this technique: https://app.flowmo.io/
You start a timer. When you're done with your task or just need a break you stop the timer and your break length is proportional to how long your work timer went for.
So if you work for 20 you then get 5 minutes of break. But then if you work for an hour you get 15 minutes of break.
That’s a cool approach. MPomidoro is simpler — for me it’s meant for longer tasks like coding or app design, so I kept it minimal: fixed work interval + fixed break, no adaptive logic. app.flowmo.io is more for multitasking I see.
I thought it was some hairstyle from the 50s coming back.
Yeah, it’s a pretty simple time‑management method — short focused work blocks with breaks in between. I just wanted a minimal version of it that works in the terminal.
How's that connected to "selfhosted". One does not "selfhost" a terminal app
I think the interpretation here is more about breaking from dependence on others.
Yeah, for me it’s just a local, minimal tool for longer tasks like coding or app design. Nothing cloud‑based, nothing fancy.
For anyone wondering how a session looks, here’s a small example:
Title: Plan the weekly tasks
Work interval time in Minutes: 15
Break interval time in Minutes: 5
Intervals Count: 3
Pomidoro
Plan the weekly tasks
3 x 15min 5min
WORK #1 15min
BREAK #1 5min
WORK #2 15min
BREAK #2 5min
WORK #3 15min
BREAK #3 5min
Conclusions: This session helped me organize my thoughts.
The tool asks for a short conclusion at the end — I found that part surprisingly helpful for wrapping up a session.
Is printing to stdout how it alerts you to a timer ending?
It prints the stage transitions, but the actual countdown runs in the terminal as MM:SS. When a work or break interval finishes, it marks the line in green so it’s easy to spot.
