Description
I have tried many Pomodoro apps and, admittedly, they're all pretty good. Be that as it may, I'm not a big fan of Pomodoro apps that fully stick to the original Pomodoro technique, as good as it may be.
Pomodorolm is not like that, in the sense that it doesn't force you to use the classic Pomodoro technique. Instead, it offers a wide range of customization options, which I like.
For instance, the app allows me to perfectly tweak the duration of all its sessions, including the focus session (originally set at 25 min), the short and long break sessions (originally set at 5 and 20 min), as well as the number of rounds (typically set at 4).
Pomodorolm is definitely among the few Pomodoro tracker apps that feel very user-focused. For starters, it's a free and open-source app that works on Windows, macOS, and Linux (even comes with various bespoke binaries and installers).
The cool thing here is that the app comes with full Wayland and X11 support. It's also relatively small in size (no web technologies are used here).
Still, what I find most impressive about the app are the numerous customization options. From the Settings section, you can enable or disable the auto-start round feature, turn desktop notifications on or off, change the color gradient according to the remaining time, customize the tray icon's color gradient, and make the app minimize to tray.
You can enable or disable the always-on-top features, as well as the tick and end sounds. It also comes with a few built-in themes (which I found to be quite decent).
According to the app's GitHub repo, future plans include a mini mode (which should come in handy), a Terminal UI, and a mobile version. Pomodorolm is not an impressive app, but it's a lot more usable and more powerful than most Pomodoro apps I've used in the past.
