Pomodoro Plugin

A Pomodoro timer with a circular progress ring. Work sessions and break intervals are fully configurable.

Pomodoro plugin


Installation

mado plugin install pomodoro

Restart Mado to activate the panel.


Usage

Click the ring or the centre to start and pause the timer. The plugin cycles automatically through work sessions and breaks:

  1. Work session
  2. Short break
  3. Work session
  4. Short break
  5. … (repeat)
  6. Long break after every 4 work sessions

A macOS notification is sent when each session or break ends.


Configuration

Config lives at ~/.config/mado/plugins/pomodoro.toml:

work_mins                  = 25
short_break_mins           = 5
long_break_mins            = 15
sessions_before_long_break = 4

All fields are optional — the defaults above are used if no config file exists.


FAQ

The notification didn't appear. Check that Mado has notification permissions in macOS System Settings → Notifications.

How do I reset the session count? Restart Mado — the session counter resets on launch.

Can I skip a break? Click the ring during a break to skip straight to the next work session.
