I wanted a simple Pomodoro timer that works locally, offline, and doesn’t require an account or sync anything to the cloud. Most Pomodoro apps I tried were SaaS‑based or came with way more features than I needed… So I built MPomidoro.

It runs entirely in the terminal and keeps everything on your machine.

What it does:

  • runs locally, no cloud, no telemetry
  • no accounts, no sync
  • configurable work/break intervals and cycle count
  • guides you through each Pomodoro stage
  • generates a small session report at the end

works on Windows and Linux (Python, no external deps)

It’s not a “self‑hosted service”, but it is a local‑first alternative to Pomodoro apps that store data online. Sharing it here in case anyone prefers lightweight, offline tools.

    Yeah, it’s a pretty simple time‑management method — short focused work blocks with breaks in between. I just wanted a minimal version of it that works in the terminal.
