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.

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.

I thought it was some hairstyle from the 50s coming back.

Yeah, it’s a pretty simple time‑management method — short focused work blocks with breaks in between. I just wanted a minimal version of it that works in the terminal.
