pomodoro timer for the i3 window manager
The pomodoro technique is a time management method. A 25 minute work session is followed by a five minute break. During the work session, all distractions should be avoided.
To this end, this project implements the following:
- A "focus" mode for i3 where workspace navigation is disabled.
- A "break" mode for i3 where all controls are disabled.
- A shell script (tomato.sh) which does the following:
- Hide all i3 bars
- Switch to i3 "focus" mode
- Set a notification for "focus mode" with a timeout of 25 minutes
- Wait for 25 minutes
- Switch to i3 "break" mode
- Display a progress bar for 5 minutes
- Show a prompt to start the next session or exit the script
- If the script is exited, i3 mode is switched back to "default" mode and the bars are re-enabled.
This setup should be easy to modify for your needs.
To apply as-is, just run make install. This will append the contents of i3.conf to ~/.config/i3/config and copy tomato.sh to ~/.config/i3/.
