 # gomodoro
 
-A simple command line pomodoro timer
\ No newline at end of file
+A simple command line pomodoro timer
+
+## Usage
+
+Run `gomodoro` to start the default timer. It will print the current status on the command line.
+
+You can customize the duration and the logging interval by using the `-duration` or `-interval` flags. Example: A 30 min timer logging every 1 min would be `gomodoro -duration 30m -interval 1m` (Not working right now)
+
+Only one gomodoro timer can be running at a time. If you are running one in the background on another thread, you can display the status by using `gomodoro -status`
