gomodoro

Simple pomodoro timer in golang + fyne.

Tested on Windows only.

Of course... - You, seeing this ☝️

Motivation

Looked for timers on Microsoft Store, it crashed, three times.

Found a pomodoro online, it didn't notify me.

So I made one... probably works.

Screenshots:

Run

• Install go 1.16+ (requires go:embed)
• Install fyne dependencies (tested on v2.0.3): https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne
• Run fyne examples, to check it's working.
• Run the app:

git clone https://github.com/haroflow/gomodoro
cd gomodoro
go run .

Package

Install fyne command (tested on v2.0.3):

go get fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne
fyne version

Build package:

fyne package

Run:

gomodoro.exe

To-do

• Play a sound when timer expires?
• The alert is pretty intrusive (which works for me). Add an option to send system notifications, in case you don't want to be disturbed by the fullscreen alert.
• Add option to go to systray when minimized. Depends on a OnMinimized event from fyne.
• When resizing, the timer stops counting down. We are doing this on another goroutine... not sure but maybe getting values from the data-binding is waiting for resize to end.
• Remove golang puns
