A pomodoro timer that stays out of the way

Most Pomodoro apps are either too heavy or too flaky. I wanted a timer that just runs, stays honest when the window is hidden, and does not ask for an account.

So I built one. Pomodoro is a small desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. The countdown lives in Rust via Tauri, so it does not drift when you alt-tab away. The UI is plain and iOS-like: focus, short break, long break, a short task list and session history in local SQLite.

You can start, pause and skip from the window or the menu bar tray. Native notifications fire when a phase ends. Settings stay in a simple sheet. No cloud, no gamification, no “focus community.”

It is the kind of app I would keep on a home screen: one job, a short path to value, and respect for attention. If that is useful to you, the code and installers are on GitHub.
