🍅 Implementation of the Pomodoro Technique using figlet(6)
,
cowsay(1)
, and optionally lolcat
🐮
- Sends desktop notifications.
- Can't stop. SIGTSTP (Ctrl-Z) is trapped. Pomodoros are uninterruptible.
- Traps SIGINT to make Ctrl-C abandon pomodoros.
- Silly mode (or is it stern?) is enabled with
-s
(can be specified multiple times). - Avoids using
clear
so the terminal doesn't flash. - Hides the cursor.
- Disables echoing of stdin.
- Keeps the cow at the bottom of your terminal.
- Prints some stats when exiting: when pomodoros started and ended and the length of breaks (can be redirected to a file).
Muccadoro is available in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/muccadoro.
Put muccadoro
inside some directory in your PATH
, e.g. ~/bin/
(or ~/.local/bin/
):
curl -fLo ~/bin/muccadoro https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meribold/muccadoro/master/muccadoro
sudo snap install muccadoro
I recommend creating an alias such as
alias pomo='muccadoro | tee -ai ~/pomodoros.txt'
See "Saving summaries to a file" for details.
The first positional argument is the amount of minutes one pomodoro should take (default:
25). If you want 20-minute pomodoros, use muccadoro 20
, for example. The program exits
after four pomodoros have been completed and a longer break should be taken.
You may want to keep a record of how many pomodoros you did and when (and for how long) you took breaks. This is supported by simply redirecting stdout:
muccadoro >> ~/pomodoros.txt
If you want to save the summary but also have it printed to stdout, use:
muccadoro | tee -ai ~/pomodoros.txt
The -i
(--ignore-interrupts
) flag of tee
makes sure the summary is correctly
processed in case the pipeline was killed with Ctrl-C (which is the
intended way to quit when doing less than four pomodoros).
