I’ve been trying to get better at sitting down and actually starting my side projects. Most Pomodoro apps I found were either too heavy, too “smart”, or tried to sync everything to the cloud.

Since I already use the terminal a lot on Linux, I ended up writing a small Pomodoro timer that just does the basics and stays out of the way.

It’s simple: you enter the title, work time, break time, and number of intervals. When the session ends, it generates a small text report and asks you to write your own conclusion. I like having those notes to look back on, so I kept that part in.

Nothing fancy — just a minimal tool that fits into a lightweight workflow. Works on Linux & Windows, needs only Python.
