A simple yet functional Pomodoro Timer built with Python's Tkinter GUI library. This app helps users stay productive by alternating between focused work sessions and timed breaks following the Pomodoro Technique.
Classic tomato timer layout built using Tkinter's Canvas and grid system.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that breaks work into focused intervals (typically 25 minutes), separated by short breaks.
This app automates that cycle — tracking work sessions, initiating breaks, and displaying completion checkmarks to help users visualize their progress.
