Pomodoro Timer CLI

A simple command line interface (CLI) application for the Pomodoro technique. The Pomodoro technique is a time management method used to boost productivity and focus. The technique involves breaking work into intervals, typically 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.

Features

• Allows the user to specify the interval and break time in minutes
• Plays an alarm sound when the interval or break time ends
• Allows the user to specify a custom MP3 file to use as the alarm sound

Issues

• The arg -f FILE_PATH creates an error if file is outside program directory.

Requirements

• Python 3

Usage

• To run the application, open a terminal window and navigate to the directory containing the pomodoro.py file. Then, run the following command:

python pomodoro.py [-i INTERVAL] [-b BREAK_TIME] [-f FILE_PATH]

where:

• -i INTERVAL is the interval time in minutes (default is 25 minutes)
• -b BREAK_TIME is the break time in minutes (default is 5 minutes)
• -f FILE_PATH is the file path to the MP3 file to use as the alarm sound (optional)

Example

python pomodoro.py -i 30 -b 10 -f /path/to/alarm.mp3

This example runs the Pomodoro timer with a 30-minute interval and a 10-minute break, using /path/to/alarm.mp3 as the alarm sound.
