A minimal local Pomodoro timer for the terminal (no accounts, no cloud) (lemmy.world)

I wanted a simple Pomodoro timer that works locally, offline, and doesn’t require an account or sync anything to the cloud. Most Pomodoro apps I tried were SaaS‑based or came with way more features than I needed... So I built MPomidoro.

It runs entirely in the terminal and keeps everything on your machine.

What it does:

  • runs locally, no cloud, no telemetry
  • no accounts, no sync
  • configurable work/break intervals and cycle count
  • guides you through each Pomodoro stage
  • generates a small session report at the end

works on Windows and Linux (Python, no external deps)

It’s not a “self‑hosted service”, but it is a local‑first alternative to Pomodoro apps that store data online. Sharing it here in case anyone prefers lightweight, offline tools.

That’s a cool approach. MPomidoro is simpler — for me it’s meant for longer tasks like coding or app design, so I kept it minimal: fixed work interval + fixed break, no adaptive logic. app.flowmo.io is more for multitasking I see.
