CLI Pomodoro for Linux

.zshrc

# study stream aliases
# Requires https://github.com/caarlos0/timer to be installed. spd-say should ship with your distro

declare -A pomo_options
pomo_options["work"]="45"
pomo_options["break"]="10"

pomodoro () {
  if [ -n "$1" -a -n "${pomo_options["$1"]}" ]; then
  val=$1
  echo $val | lolcat
  timer ${pomo_options["$val"]}m
  spd-say "'$val' session done"
  fi
}

alias wo="pomodoro 'work'"
alias br="pomodoro 'break'"

Use with:
./timer.sh work 10
./timer.sh break 10
Will be set in minutes.

Quick install instructions for debian:

sudo apt-get install lolcat
echo 'deb [trusted=yes] https://repo.caarlos0.dev/apt/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/caarlos0.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install timer

#!/bin/bash

clear

declare -A pomo_options
pomo_options["work"]="45"
pomo_options["break"]="10"

pomodoro () {
  if [ -n "$1" -a -n "${pomo_options["$1"]}" ]; then
    val=$1
    if [ -z "$2" ]; then
      minutes=${pomo_options["$val"]}
    else
      minutes=$2
    fi
    echo $val | lolcat
    timer $minutes"m"
    spd-say "'$val' session done"
  else
    echo "Usage: pomodoro <work|break> [minutes]"
  fi
}

if [ "$1" == "work" ]; then
  pomodoro "work" "$2"
elif [ "$1" == "break" ]; then
  pomodoro "break" "$2"
else
  echo "Usage: ./timer.sh <work|break> [minutes]"
fi

#Make sure to install https://github.com/caarlos0/timer
#And make sure to have lolcat installed```

So simple yet very useful, thank you! 💪🏻

I added some artificial intelligense neural network framework library laser surgery hack scripting hackerman logic to this:

# study stream aliases
# Requires https://github.com/caarlos0/timer to be installed. spd-say should ship with your distro

declare -A pomo_options
pomo_options["work"]="45"
pomo_options["break"]="10"

pomodoro () {
  if [ -n "$1" -a -n "${pomo_options["$1"]}" ]; then
  val=$1
  clear
  echo $val | lolcat
  timer ${pomo_options["$val"]}m
  spd-say "'$val' session done"
  fi
}

alias wo="pomodoro 'work'"
alias br="pomodoro 'break'"

which improves it by 405.33 (repeating of course) %

This is quite good.

Also, a suggestion of mine is that it would be nice if we can add like a "TODO" list along with it.
