A minimal local Pomodoro timer for the terminal (no accounts, no cloud)
A minimal local Pomodoro timer for the terminal (no accounts, no cloud)
I wanted a simple Pomodoro timer that works locally, offline, and doesn’t require an account or sync anything to the cloud. Most Pomodoro apps I tried were SaaS‑based or came with way more features than I needed... So I built MPomidoro.
It runs entirely in the terminal and keeps everything on your machine.
What it does:
- runs locally, no cloud, no telemetry
- no accounts, no sync
- configurable work/break intervals and cycle count
- guides you through each Pomodoro stage
- generates a small session report at the end
works on Windows and Linux (Python, no external deps)
It’s not a “self‑hosted service”, but it is a local‑first alternative to Pomodoro apps that store data online. Sharing it here in case anyone prefers lightweight, offline tools.
