A minimalistic CLI Pomodoro timer.

A Pomodoro timer with two modes: single-pomodoro (default), and four-pomodoro (`--session`).

Monadoro

A simple pomodoro counter. Type monadoro to get started.

The goal

The simplest Pomodoro counter, ready to deploy at once on most command-line platforms to enable you to focus on your work in just a few moments, for weeks to come.

The method

There are six steps in the original technique [^cirillo_pomodoro]:

1. Choose a task you'd like to get done,
2. Set the Pomodoro for 25 minutes,
3. Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings,
4. When the Pomodoro rings, put a checkmark on a paper,
5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3-5 minutes), then go to step 2;
6. After four pomodoros, take a longer break (15-30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

Installing

Fastest: With Nix already installed

nix-shell -p haskellPackages.Monadoro --run monadoro

Using Stack

1. Ensure you have stack installed.
   • Vendor-recommended way: curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh
   • Native install, on Ubuntu as an example: apt install haskell-stack
2. Install Monadoro
   1. Update the Stack index: stack update
   2. Install: stack install Monadoro. Note the capital "M" in the package name.

Test suite dependencies

DocTest 0.16.1 Haskell library requires libtinfo to compile (libtinfo-dev in Apt on Ubuntu).
