Is there a Pomodoro app available?

Question

Is there a pomodoro app that's available for Ubuntu 12.04 that can be installed using sudo or from the package manager?

Answer 1

Gnome-shell

You can use this extension in GNOME shell for pomodoro indicator.

Unity

The pomodoro-indicator as referenced by the other answerer doesn't work straight out of the box. We first have to fix the icon so it appears on the Unity panel.

Follow the commands and hopefully it works for you:

wget https://launchpad.net/pomodoro-indicator/trunk/0.0.2/+download/pomodoro-indicator-0.0.2.tar.gz
wget https://launchpad.net/pomodoro-indicator/trunk/0.0.1/+download/pomodoro-indicator-0.0.1.tar.gz
tar xvf pomodoro-indicator-0.0.2.tar.gz
tar xvf pomodoro-indicator-0.0.1.tar.gz
cp -R pomodoro-indicator-0.0.2/* pomodoro-indicator-0.0.1/
cd pomodoro-indicator-0.0.1; gedit setup.py

In line 112, remove # from the following line:

#package_data = {"pomodoro": ["images/*.png", ]}

Save the file.

sudo python setup.py install
pomodoro-indicator

Pomodoro indicator will now appear in the Unity panel.

Answer 2

Tomate https://launchpad.net/tomate

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stvs/tomate
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tomate

• What are PPAs and how do I use them?
• Are "PPA's" safe to add to my system, and what are some "red flags" to watch out for?

Answer 3

Tomighty

Download link

Tomighty can't be installed from package manager (it's java applet), but it's my favorite because it has an indicator with countdown timer right on taskbar. The downside is that indicator background looks ugly when idle because of white background.

So I edited default png and filled it with ambiance background color. Save the image as "tomato-24.png" and put it tomighty's .jar file. http://i.imgur.com/Lf92P.png
