The Pomodoro Timer is a productivity tool designed to help you manage your time efficiently using the Pomodoro Technique. It splits your work into intervals—typically 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break. This cycle helps to boost focus and prevent burnout by encouraging regular breaks. The script is cross-platform, supporting both Windows and macOS/Linux.
- Customizable Work and Break Durations: Set your preferred time for work and break sessions.
- Support for Multiple Cycles: Run multiple Pomodoro sessions in a row.
- Platform-Specific Alerts:
- Windows: Uses sound alerts (winsound) to notify users when a session is complete.
- macOS/Linux: Uses terminal beep commands for notifications.
- Clone the Repository or Download the Script:

git clone https://github.com/max-lopzzz/Python-Scripts/tree/master/Pomodoro%20Timer
