I was struggling to sit down and start my side projects, so I began reading more about productivity and motivation. Eventually I ended up writing a tiny Pomodoro timer for my terminal — mostly just to help myself get moving.

It’s super minimal: you enter the title, work time, break time, and number of intervals. At the end it generates a simple session report and asks you to write your own conclusion. I like reading my own reports later, so I added that feature.

I also enjoy reading short reports and summaries, so adding them felt natural. And honestly, I prefer building simple tools myself rather than hunting for the “perfect” app.

Works on Windows & Linux, needs only Python.

    Since there’s no license file, it defaults to all rights reserved, which means full files can’t be redistributed.

    I’m not a lawyer, but I would argue this actually means that even people who get it from Gumroad can’t use it “legally”. There should be a license which expresses your intent.
