I built a tiny terminal Pomodoro timer to help me focus on my Linux projects (lemmy.world)

I’ve been trying to get better at sitting down and actually starting my side projects. Most Pomodoro apps I found were either too heavy, too “smart”, or tried to sync everything to the cloud.

Since I already use the terminal a lot on Linux, I ended up writing a small Pomodoro timer that just does the basics and stays out of the way.

It’s simple: you enter the title, work time, break time, and number of intervals. When the session ends, it generates a small text report and asks you to write your own conclusion. I like having those notes to look back on, so I kept that part in.

Nothing fancy — just a minimal tool that fits into a lightweight workflow. Works on Linux & Windows, needs only Python.

Starting is usually the hardest part for me. Curious what helps you get going — especially if you also prefer simple tools over big apps.
