Simple Focus Timer with Task Queue – CLI for 25‑minute sessions

Simple Focus Timer with Task Queue

I’ve put together a small command‑line tool that does three things:

  1. Add short tasks – you can list the items you want to work on before you start.
  2. Start a 25‑minute focus session – the timer follows the classic Pomodoro length.
  3. Play a sound alert – when the session ends you get an audible cue.

The program is deliberately lightweight: it runs in a terminal, has no external dependencies, and relies only on the standard library of the language it’s written in. That makes it easy to drop into any development environment without pulling in extra packages.

It’s aimed at developers or anyone comfortable with the command line who wants a simple way to chunk work without a full‑featured time‑tracking app. If you’re dealing with task overload and need a straightforward timer that respects your workflow, this tool should fit the bill.
