Tempus update: v0.2.x, quite a bit has changed since the first post

:app-white: Apps

Posted about this a few weeks ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/1tjjuqy/i\_made\_a\_pomodoro\_timer\_for\_gnome\_called\_tempus/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button). Got some good feedback, kept building. Here's where it's at now.

What's new since v0.1:

  • Tasks now (should lol) persist between sessions, add something, close the app, reopen, it's still there
  • Activate a task and its name shows up inside the timer ring while you're focusing
  • Each task tracks how many pomodoros you've put into it
  • Daily stats view, total focus time for the day, broken down per task
  • GNOME Do Not Disturb syncs automatically during focus sessions, restores on pause/break/finish
  • Window title shows the live countdown (e.g. 12:34 · Focus) so you can glance at the taskbar without switching back

What's coming next:

  • Notification sound when a session ends
  • Background/tray mode so you don't need the window open , came up in the comments on the last post and it's a fair point

Still GTK4/libadwaita, still Python, still no unnecessary settings.
Flathub submission is in progress, had a small hiccup with the review but a new submission is coming.
if you find it useful, a star on GitHub goes a long way for a solo project
