  2. Untar the package with tar -zxvf openpomodoro-cli*.tar.gz.
  3. Move the extracted openpomodoro-cli file to a directory in your $PATH (for most systems, this will be /usr/local/bin/).

$ pomodoro history --output ical > ~/Pomodoros.ics

Tmux Color

tmux-color returns a color for the current Pomodoro status.

# Active Pomodoro
$ pomodoro tmux-color
colour2 # Green

# Finished Pomodoro
$ pomodoro tmux-color
colour1 # Red

Nothing is output if no Pomodoro is active.

Colors can be used within a Tmux configuration like so:

set -g status-left '#[bg=#(pomodoro tmux-color)]🍅'

You can also define custom colors:

# Active Pomodoro
$ pomodoro tmux-color --active colour166 --done colour165
colour166 # Orange

# Finished Pomodoro
$ pomodoro tmux-color --active colour166 --done colour165
colour165 # Purple

Status Format

All commands which display the status of a single Pomodoro can take an additional --format / -f argument. This argument controls how to display the Pomodoro.

By default, it displays the time remaining (or an Emoji exclamation point if zero), an Emoji tomato, the description, and tags. Consecutive spaces and newlines are de-duplicated.

Hooks

Hooks can be run when Pomodoros change state. There are 3 possible hooks:

  • break
  • start
  • stop

Commands which run hooks:

  • break: break immediately, stop when break is over
  • cancel: stop
  • clear: stop
  • finish: stop
  • repeat: start
  • start: start

To enable a hook, create an executable file in the hooks subdirectory within your configuration directory. For example:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -exo pipefail

say "Pomodoro started"
$ chmod +x ~/.pomodoro/hooks/start
