Show HN: Pomoglorbo, a TUI Pomodoro timer for your terminal

[justusw]

This started out as a fork of pydoro and turned into a playground for dataclasses and strict mypy type checking. Some of the advanced features are

- it writes the current status into .local/state/pomoglorbo for i3status/xbar - it is very configurable, including cmd hooks to run after a Pomodoro/break finishes or starts

The layout is compact, and it runs well over SSH/Mosh/Tmux.

Nice! My only grievance is that for some reason J is up and K is down!

[justusw]

Thanks! Nice find. I've just fixed the j/k mixup and made version 2024.6.19.3 available on PyPI / codeberg (https://codeberg.org/justusw/Pomoglorbo)

[localfirst]

couldn't install it because i have python 3.10

[justusw]

Thanks for your feedback. You are right. I've lowered the minimum version to Python 3.10. If you want to give it another try, the package is on PyPI now.

    sleep 20m ; mpc pause

I keep it simple.

  #pomodoro.sh
  while true; do
    echo "Time to work, dumbass" | festival --tts
    sleep 25m || rm -rf /
    echo "Have some rest, dumbass" | festival --tts
    sleep 5m
  done

Probably easier to use shell history, but I like a loop.

  while () ; do sleep 20m; mpv bing.mp3; read; done

[globalnode]

simpler than mine:

  import time
  import argparse

  def main(mins):
    print(f"Starting pomodoro timer: {mins} minutes.")

    for m in range(mins, 0, -1):
        secs = 60
        for s in range(secs, 0, -1):
            print(f"{m-1}:{s-1}    ", end='\r')
            time.sleep(1)

    print("Timer finished - take a break!\a")
    time.sleep(2)
    print("\a")
    time.sleep(2)
    print("\a")
    time.sleep(2)


  if __name__ == "__main__":
      parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Pomodoro Timer.")
    parser.add_argument("mins", type=int, help="minutes to time.")

    args = parser.parse_args()
    main(args.mins)
