This Open-Source App Helps You Stay Focused
|
||||
======
|
||||
Get a boost of productivity with the time management benefits of Pomatez
|
||||
app.
|
||||
Are you familiar with the 'Pomodoro Technique'?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, it is **a time management method** developed in the late 1980s that uses a timer to break work into set intervals, usually 25 minutes, followed by short breaks, then repeat until the task is done.
|
||||
|
||||
This has been growing in popularity over the years, with various apps featuring the [Pomodoro Technique][1] as their main selling point.
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we will be covering one such app that is **available natively for Linux** , called ' **Pomatez** '. It is **an open-source app** that features all the tools required to follow such an approach for time management.
|
||||
|
||||
You know this is not the first time we are covering an app like this, there's an app called ' **[Reminders][2]'** that serves a similar purpose, though without the Pomodoro approach.
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Let me highlight what you can do with the Pomatez app.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pomatez: Overview ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Written in the [**TypeScript**][5] programming language, Pomatez is **a neat tool for staying focused while also taking those much-needed breaks** during important tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of its key features include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Built-in Task Lists**
|
||||
* **Desktop Notifications**
|
||||
* **Customizable Rules**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Initial Impressions 👨💻
|
||||
|
||||
I set it up on my [Ubuntu 22.04][6] LTS system to see what it had to offer.
|
||||
|
||||
First and foremost, I populated the ' **Task List** ' section with some super important tasks and some unimportant tasks that I wanted to accomplish before the end of the day.
|
||||
|
||||
Take a look, you won't be disappointed 👇
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
Then, I headed over to the ' **Config** ' tab, where I could tweak the rules according to my preference.
|
||||
|
||||
The ' **Stay focus** ' was for setting the task duration, the ' **Short break** ' was to set a short time off, ' **Long break** ' for a longer time off, and ' **Session rounds** ' to set the number of sessions for the timer.
|
||||
|
||||
[via GIPHY][8]
|
||||
|
||||
There was even a ' **Special Breaks** ' section that could be used to set specific breaks such as lunch, dinner, or whatever you want.
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
Next, I proceeded to the ' **Timer** ' section, where I was shown the first task at hand, with the number of sessions being shown below along with the controls to handle the timer/session.
|
||||
|
||||
There was a button to reset the timer, one to start/stop the timer, another to go into the next phase per the rules. Another one for changing the volume, and a button to go into the ' **Compact mode** ' (at the bottom right).
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
I started the timer by using the 'Play' button, and proceeded to check out the possible actions for the task. I can mark it as 'Done', skip it, or even delete it from the app.
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
As the task progressed, I switched Pomatez into the **'Compact mode** ' by using the button with a box/downwards arrow logo.
|
||||
|
||||
Doing that gave me a smaller, more space-conscious interface. After I was done with the task, I stopped the timer and marked the task as 'Done'.
|
||||
|
||||
![][12]
|
||||
|
||||
I then headed over to the ' **Settings** ' section to see what kind of options I could tweak, and I must say I was not disappointed.
|
||||
|
||||
I was able to tweak app behavior such as **always on top** , **switch to dark mode** , **enable** **voice assistance** and more.
|
||||
|
||||
![][13]
|
||||
|
||||
Pomatez also features **support for keyboard shortcuts** , though I was expecting the ability to control the timer via a keyboard shortcut.
|
||||
|
||||
_Maybe they can consider my feedback for future releases? Hopefully!_
|
||||
|
||||
![][14]
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, it is an interesting app if you want to streamline your daily workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
The best thing is, it is **a cross-platform app** , not limited to Linux. So, you can also try it on your Windows and macOS systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 Download Pomatez
|
||||
|
||||
Pomatez is available as a **.deb** , **AppImage** , and **.rpm** , packages for Linux. You can also find a Snap package for it.
