Show HN: Pomoglorbo, a TUI Pomodoro timer for your terminal (opens in new tab)

This started out as a fork of pydoro and turned into a playground for dataclasses and strict mypy type checking. Some of the advanced features are

- it writes the current status into .local/state/pomoglorbo for i3status/xbar - it is very configurable, including cmd hooks to run after a Pomodoro/break finishes or starts

The layout is compact, and it runs well over SSH/Mosh/Tmux.

Nice! My only grievance is that for some reason J is up and K is down!

Thanks! Nice find. I've just fixed the j/k mixup and made version 2024.6.19.3 available on PyPI / codeberg (https://codeberg.org/justusw/Pomoglorbo)

couldn't install it because i have python 3.10

Thanks for your feedback. You are right. I've lowered the minimum version to Python 3.10. If you want to give it another try, the package is on PyPI now.

    sleep 20m ; mpc pause

I keep it simple.

What’s the “rm -rf /“ for?

Probably easier to use shell history, but I like a loop.

  while () ; do sleep 20m; mpv bing.mp3; read; done

simpler than mine:

  import time
  import argparse

  def main(mins):
    print(f"Starting pomodoro timer: {mins} minutes.")

    for m in range(mins, 0, -1):
        secs = 60
        for s in range(secs, 0, -1):
            print(f"{m-1}:{s-1}    ", end='\r')
            time.sleep(1)

    print("Timer finished - take a break!\a")
    time.sleep(2)
    print("\a")
    time.sleep(2)
    print("\a")
    time.sleep(2)


  if __name__ == "__main__":
      parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Pomodoro Timer.")
    parser.add_argument("mins", type=int, help="minutes to time.")

    args = parser.parse_args()
    main(args.mins)

Good one! That's pretty much how I started and then ended up with Pomoglorbo instead. I have wanted the timer to integrate with timewarrior, and automatically time what I am working and also keep track of my breaks. Another issue is that when your computer sleeps, you'd want to keep counting seconds in the background, so time.sleep(1) will lose accuracy very quickly.

Mine has an ASCII cow to keep you motivated and accountable: https://github.com/meribold/muccadoro.

just tried to run it and it says i dont have cowsay command which is just an output of a text based cow with a cartoon bubble

So far on my M1:

1. I tried to install Pomoglorbo, fails due to python requirement

2. Scrolling down I find muccadoro, fails due to dependency

3. 10 minutes in im feeling the impact and inefficient

4. Should've just kept moving
