Incorporate a tui Pomodoro timer

[dimus]

I am suggesting to add https://codeberg.org/dimus/pomati to Omarchi. I wrote it because I wanted to have a seamless Pomodoro timer for tiling window managers I used, that creates minimal distraction, but always easily accessible. There is AUR for it as well https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pomati

I wrote it for myself, and did not think much about it, until I started to use Omarchi, and in my view it fits the philosophy of the distro quite well. I set it up in a special workspace, so it runs in the background and easily accessible. This is how I set it up:

bind = SUPER, X, togglespecialworkspace, pomspace

workspace = special:pomspace, on-created-empty:alacritty --class ala-pomati \
  --config-file $HOME/.config/alacritty/pom.toml -e $HOME/go/bin/pomati
windowrulev2 = float, class:^(ala-pomati)$
windowrulev2 = pseudo, class:^(ala-pomati)$
windowrulev2 = size 90% 155, class:^(ala-pomati)$
# x y (x horisonal, y vertical from top)
windowrulev2 = move 2% 5%, class:^(ala-pomati)$

Where pom.toml is something like

[colors.primary]
background = "#000000"
foreground = "#b5b3aa"

[env]
TERM = "alacritty"

[font]
size = 70

[font.offset]
y = 0

[window]
opacity = 0.1

[window.padding]
x = 2
y = 2

I find it very useful to remember to stand up and stretch from time to time. May be there are some other tui timers around that you can suggest?

I tried to install the aur but it fails to run the test please make sure that your package is stable for all users

thanks for letting me know @Sigabiel, I'll fix it

[dimus]

It was a timezone conversion bug https://codeberg.org/dimus/pomati/issues/4. I added a test for several time zones which should keep it from happening. Can you try it again @Sigabiel , the version for aur now should be v0.3.5

[dimus]

If you plan on extendending functionality in the future a display in the waybar would be awesome!

It is a nice idea @Sigabiel, I guess I did not make it so far because my shortcut for the timer is super-x and it is makes it faster for me to bring the timer to the front, than to find it in the bar :D

[Sigabiel]

Ah that makes sense. I never used scratch windows before but I will look into them. If you find the time you could extend your detailed docs with a small guide on how to set it up because you already mention them briefly.

I really enjoy using the timer and the default sound that plays on state change always scares me so bad😂😂

[dimus]

looks like hyrpland changed syntax for windowrule, let me figure out how to configure windows now

[Sigabiel]

I found this config that works great for me

workspace = special:pomati, on-created-empty:[float; size 1000 300] alacritty --config-file ~/.config/pomati/alacritty.toml -e pomati, persistent:false
bind = super, x, togglespecialworkspace, pomati

[dimus]

I also added a section https://codeberg.org/dimus/pomati#window-managers-settings

[severin-richner]

I've created a small timer TUI for me locally which also shows in the waybar. Not a pomodoro timer however, but I might create a PR in a few days.

[dimus]

cool, @severin-richner, I would like to learn from your code how to do it, I would also like to figure out how to do it for different window managers/bars, for example when I need X11 I switch from Omarchy to Qtile and it would be nice to have this functionality 'bar agnostic'

[severin-richner]

I've created a PR with the timer here. It doesn't have as many features as pomati and it's really specific to Omarchy, so not really postable to other distros. But I hope you might get something out of the waybar integration!

[dimus]

Thanks @severin-richner, I'll look at it

[severin-richner]

FYI my PR did not manage to get added to Omarchy. But I made a single-script version, if anyone is interested omarchy-timer.
