Productivity Timer is a Pomodoro timer application for keyboard addicts and terminal fans that makes you more productive.
Productivity Timer doesn’t enforce a strict Pomodoro sequence (work -> break -> work). It’s entirely up to you when you want to start a timer, though you can configure the app to automatically start a break after each work session.
If a timer has a reference to a task category or project, it’ll be saved and show up in your stats. Otherwise, it’ll be considered a break timer and not be logged. It is only your hard work that counts!
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Can be be used entirely from the CLI (you don’t have to switch to another window to interact with a Pomodoro app anymore).
- Has a sleek and (almost) responsive TUI.
- Plays alarm beep after every non-break timer ends.
- Can show notifications.
- Can show comprehensive stats (in the TUI).
- Has automatic database backup system.
- Reactive to changes. Changes from any TUI instance or CLI is reflected everywhere.
