tomatoers / tomato

A simple, usable, and efficient pomodoro app designed for elementary OS

Tomato

Keep focused on your work

Tomato is a clean, easy-to-use time manager based on Pomodoro technique. It breaks down work into intervals to keep you focused and allows you to rest during strategic periods to reward your progress. It is a must-have app if you need to avoid procrastination.

Made for elementary OS

Tomato is designed and developed on and for elementary OS. Installing via AppCenter ensures instant updates straight from us. Get it on AppCenter for the best experience.

Versions of Tomato may have been built and made available elsewhere by third-parties. These builds may have modifications or changes and are not provided nor supported by us. The only supported version is distributed via AppCenter on elementary OS.

Developing and Building

If you want to hack on and build Tomato yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:

• gtk3
• granite
• libcanberra
• libunity

Create a build directory

mkdir build
cd build

Use cmake to configure the build environment and run make to build

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../
make

To install, use make install, then execute with com.github.tomatoers.tomato

sudo make install
com.github.tomatoers.tomato

Do you want to contribute?

Tomato is open source. You can contribute by reporting/fixing bugs or proposing/implementing new features.

Before getting started, read the following guidelines:

• elementary OS HIG
• elementary OS developer guide

tomato's Issues

Create an AppData file

AppCenter could not find a com.github.luizaugustomm.tomato.appdata.xml file for your project. Please create one to provide additional data to application managers.

For more information please look over these docs:

• freedesktop

Affects: 1.2.0 release

tomato doesnt look good in other themes

In other themes like paper Tomato doesnt look well. In Paper button has white text on white background.

Problem with Progress Bar showing up

If you close the window before the "x hour and y minutes of work" message goes away, the progress bar doesn't show up on the launcher. As far as I can tell, there seems to be a one second window where this happens.

The icon name "application-menu" is invalid

The icon you want is "open-menu"

I've marked your app as "needs fixing". Once this issue is addressed, upload a new release and I'll approve it :)

Minimize to System Tray

I was wondering, if it'd be possible to add a feature where the app has an option to minimize to the system tray instead of to the normal list of apps.

Currently running XUbuntu 17.04

Migrate to Meson build system

As preparation for Juno we should switch to Meson. from current CMake system.

About dialog translucent

Not sure exactly what's going on, but the About dialog looks like it's translucent:

I'm also seeing this on a few other apps in AppCenter, so I'm not sure where the issue is (if it's with Granite, the apps, or the Stylesheet).

Change icon pls this so bad

Cannot make the installation

When I try to install I get the message

libgranite3 (>= 0.2.0) but it is not installable

Change the Main Window into a transient dialog

This is just a very crude picture of what I am thinking of. Some gui code would need to change a bit to work better with the dialog. It would be cool to have the whole dialog colored.

Argument for this: By the nature of this app, the Tomato window is not really meant to keep open and interact with. Instead you interact with it in short bursts. I think transient dialogs fit this purpose well, and look pretty good doing it.

Agenda is an app that does something similar. If you're interested in this idea, I can fill out my code a bit more and submit a pull request.

Remove "designed for elementaryOS" from appdata

Since all of the apps in the AppCenter repos are designed for elementary OS, it doesn't make a ton of sense to have that line in there. It's just kind of understood ;)

No Speakers issue

If a computer doesn't have any speakers the application gives no form of notification (reducing its use somewhat), could you make it rise to the top of the windows when the timer finishes (or add this as an option)? Other than this, big fan.

AppData isn't installed to the system

It looks like Tomato doesn't actually install its appdata file, so it's not currently showing in AppCenter even though it exists in the repo.

Appdata files should be installed to ${DATADIR}/metainfo

#FeatureRequest Tray Icon support

First off, great app. Really useful!

I'd like to be able to see the progress in the form of a tray-icon instead of the dock since it's not visible when any app is fullscreen. Thank you

A small licence problem

In the LICENCE file it says it's GPL2, but on the COPYING it says GPL3

Disappeared?

I'd love to use this app but I can't find it in Juno's AppCentre. Did you pull it?

"Airplane mode"

An option to automatically turn off wifi when working would be great.

Work Doesn't Reset

If you have a timer running past midnight, then the work doesn't reset that day. I don't know exactly how we should deal with this. If you continue working into the next day, it makes sense to keep the work done. However, you do want it to reset after you sleep and resume work the next day.

Publish in Juno

Our second Juno Developer Preview is out and Juno's big debut is just around the corner! We'd love to see your app in AppCenter on release day.

Check out this Developer Tips article to learn how to publish your app for elementary OS 5.

If you need help updating your app for Juno, we’re always standing by in Gitter and the Community Slack to help wherever we can.

Show the window in the multi-task view

Probably the main window is hidden on purpose, but I find it annoying that I can not drag the app window between workspaces and that it is invisible when using multi-task view.

Timer can run in an inconsistent state

If you skip a pause with the spacebar, and then start the next work session with the spacebar again, the timer starts, but the window doesn't update correctly

Feature request: add Start/Stop, Pause/Resume actions to docked app icon

Related to #48, some options like Pause, Resume, Stop could be added to a context menu un the docked app. Those are Dynamic QuickLists actions, right?

fails on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/tomato-team/tomato-stable/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

Never goes back to green

From what I can tell, I can't get the screen back to green after starting a countdown. When I stop the timer, it stays red.

Compiled on elementary OS Loki.

Give the tomato a project name

Hi,

Thanks for make such a useful application. I wondered if you could name a tomato to a particular project I'm working on. So I can save the amount of time that I've worked on for each project and pick up on it at a later date until it's completed.

Thanks,

Sampath

Use "current window" for screenshot

Instead of grabbing a whole screen screenshot, it would be much easier for people to see your app clearly if it were a "current window" screenshot

Setup translation

It would be nice to have translations:

• For the main app
• For the Appstream file
• For the desktop file

Impossible to change the workspace where pomodoro is at.

When you're using pomodoro and try to move it to another workspace (⌘+S), the program does not show up as one of the running programs.

Turn long break into short break.

Sometimes you only need a short break and 15 minutes is too long. Maybe an option to turn a long break into a short break could be useful.

Can u put an image for the app?
