pomod

pomod is a dead-simple Pomodoro timer for Polybar, written in Nim.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/liquid600pgm/pomod.git
$ cd pomod
$ nimble install
$ sudo ln -s $HOME/.nimble/bin/pomod /usr/bin/pomod

In your Polybar config:

[module/pomod]
type = custom/script
exec = pomod
tail = true
format = %{F#f8f8f2}%{u#ff5555}%{+u}<label>%{-u}
click-left = kill -USR1 %pid%
click-middle = kill -USR2 %pid%

Nerd Fonts recommended.

Features

Pros

• it's very minimal
• it's made for use with nerd fonts
• it has notifications for finished timespans
• it has a nice, unobtrusive sound

Cons

• no configuration unless you edit the source code
• default config requires nerd fonts
• the timer's probably imprecise

pomod was mainly made because all the existing online Pomodoro timers suck and there was no Polybar module for a Pomodoro timer. Well, now there is, and it doesn't suck (for me at least). Hooray, I guess?

Feel free to use it in your setups, hopefully it can provide itself useful.
