Gomodoro

Gomodoro is a customizable Pomodoro timer written in Go. It allows you to set focus and break intervals, and run custom shell commands at the start and end of each focus period, as well as at the end of each interval. The application can be run in fullscreen mode and provides a visual progress bar to track your focus and break times.

Some Pro Tips!

• Use the --on-focus-start and --on-focus-end options to run commands that help you get into the zone and wind down after a focus period or to control your environment (e.g., turning off notifications).

My example usage

I used Shortcuts on my mac to control macOS Focus mode. I named them "Turn On Focus" and "Turn Off Focus". This allows my focus start and end commands to control my notifications for my computer and phone (since I have them synced).

I also use Slack Status CLI to set my Slack status to a snooze mode with a tomato emoji when I'm in focus mode and turn it off after.

gomodoro \
    --fullscreen \
    --color-left '#ecdfb1' \
    --color-right '#c6e889 ' \
    --on-focus-start "shortcuts run 'Turn On Focus'" \
    --on-focus-start "say 'Time to focus'" \
    --on-focus-start "slack-status -snooze -duration 1h -emoji :tomato: Focus" \
    --on-focus-end "shortcuts run 'Turn Off Focus'" \
    --on-focus-end "say 'Break time you slacker'" \
    --on-focus-end "slack-status" \
    --on-interval-end "say 'Interval done! Phew!'"
