What is it?

Pomotroid is a configurable Pomodoro timer for desktop. You can set work and break durations, the number of rounds before a long break, and track completed sessions in daily, weekly and all-time statistics views with a 52-week heatmap.

The app ships with 38 bundled color themes that follow the OS light or dark setting, and custom themes can be added as JSON files that apply without a restart. It also includes global shortcuts that work while the window is hidden, a tray icon showing timer progress, native notifications on round changes, and custom alert sounds.

An optional local WebSocket server lets external tools such as stream overlays or automation scripts query the current timer state and receive round change events. The interface is available in eight languages.
