Welcome to the Pomodoro wiki!

Pomodoro FAQ

  • Q: How do you build the project from source? (+1vote)
    • A: git clone https://github.com/ugol/pomodoro.git then open the project with XCode4 and compile.
  • Q: Is Pomodoro free and open source?
    • A: Yes and No. From 1.0 onwards, Pomodoro is downloadable only in Mac App Store℠. That means it isn’t free anymore, although it is offered at a very low price. But the code is still 99.99% open source: you can build your own version from the source and use it for free
  • Q: Why 99.99% free and not 100% free?
    • A: The code is all free, but I can’t share the keys that Twitter assigned exclusively to Pomodoro. So there are two empty #defines in TwitterSecrets.h. You can use your own secrets if you want to tweet your Pomodoros, or simply continue to use Pomodoro without the Twitter integration
  • Q: What are the variables you can bind in Pomodoro notifications?
    • A: In all kind of notifications textfields (Growl, Calendar, Speech, Twitter and Applescript) you can use $pomodoroName, $duration, $dailyPomodoroDone and $globalPomodoroDone placeholders to indicate current name, current duration and daily/global pomodoros done respectively. In Interrupt notifications text, you can also use $secs placeholder to indicate the interrupt duration. In “Every” notification text, you can also use $mins, $passed and $time placeholders to indicate respectively interval time, total time passed and how much time is left.
