Pomota: A Beautiful Cross-Platform Pomodoro Timer Built with Tauri

#opensource

Pomodoro timers are everywhere. But most are either ugly web apps, bloated Electron apps, or mobile-only. I built Pomota — a clean, native-feeling Pomodoro timer powered by Tauri.

Why Tauri?

Electron apps eat 200MB+ of RAM to show a timer. Tauri uses your system's native webview, so Pomota uses ~10MB of RAM. That's 20x less than Electron alternatives.

Features

  • ⏱ïļ Clean Pomodoro timer — work sessions, short breaks, long breaks
  • ðŸ–Ĩïļ Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux
  • ðŸŠķ Lightweight — ~10MB RAM usage (Tauri, not Electron)
  • ðŸŽĻ Beautiful UI — TypeScript + React frontend
  • 🔔 Notifications — never miss a break
  • ⚙ïļ Customizable — adjust timer durations

Why Another Pomodoro Timer?

Because every existing one is either:

  1. A web app that gets lost in browser tabs
  2. An Electron app that eats your RAM
  3. Ugly
  4. Missing basic features

Pomota is none of those things.

Install

Download from releases or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/p32929/pomota
cd pomota
npm install
npm run tauri dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

👉 GitHub: https://github.com/p32929/pomota

If you do Pomodoro and care about your RAM, try Pomota.

What Pomodoro tool do you use? Web, desktop, or mobile?
