Thomas : Straightforward and non-impressive Pomodoro application for your computer that doesn't require installation and lives either on the desktop or in the taskbar
If you know that the Pomodoro technique works for you or you're curious enough to give it a shot, you might be interested in finding a Pomodoro app for your computer.Thomas is one such application that aims to help you power through distractions and get things done in short, intense, 25-minute work sessions.
Distraction-free Pomodoro utility for your computer
It's an Electron-based utility, so it also comes with companion apps for macOS and Linux, and it can be started in just a couple of seconds without much hassle since it doesn't even require installation.Right off the bat, you're bound to discover that Thomas is a very unassuming application, both regarding looks and its functionality. The app's compact main window houses a few basic controls for the timer and a simplistic menu bar.
Non-impressive app that works as expected
Even though this is a stripped-down utility, by all accounts, it's worth pointing out that the application also features taskbar integration and support for a few useful keyboard shortcuts. For instance, you can summon the app's main window by using the Ctrl+Alt+T app, start and stop the timer with Ctrl+Enter combo, and press Escape to hide the application's main window altogether.There's also a fairly simplistic log section which allows you to get a glimpse over past sessions. Last but not least, you're also able to enable a Progress bar (taskbar icon progress to be more exact), which allows you to see how much time you have, roughly, before a Pomodoro is completed.
Uncomplicated Pomodoro app for unpretentious users
Taking everything into account, Thomas is a simple app that gets the job done without fuss. If looks aren't your main priority when it comes to Pomodoro apps, then you might as well give this one a quick try-out and see what's what
