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.

@mietkiewski_dev I had to search to see what a #Pomodoro was .. interesting - a time management technque - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro…

I prefer this technique: https://app.flowmo.io/

You start a timer. When you're done with your task or just need a break you stop the timer and your break length is proportional to how long your work timer went for.

So if you work for 20 you then get 5 minutes of break. But then if you work for an hour you get 15 minutes of break.

How's that connected to "selfhosted". One does not "selfhost" a terminal app

I think the interpretation here is more about breaking from dependence on others.

Your github has no source code or licensing. Not sure if that was intentional or not since i see your github acct is only a few days old

For anyone wondering how a session looks, here’s a small example:

Title: Plan the weekly tasks
Work interval time in Minutes: 15
Break interval time in Minutes: 5
Intervals Count: 3

Pomidoro
Plan the weekly tasks
3 x 15min 5min

WORK #1 15min
BREAK #1 5min
WORK #2 15min
BREAK #2 5min
WORK #3 15min
BREAK #3 5min

Conclusions: This session helped me organize my thoughts.

The tool asks for a short conclusion at the end — I found that part surprisingly helpful for wrapping up a session.

Is printing to stdout how it alerts you to a timer ending?
