qomodoro

qomodoro is a small software application developed specifically for helping you improve your work with the aid of a pomodoro timer. It is written in C++ and can be deployed on all Windows versions.

The Pomodoro technique is implemented for helping you gain better control over your projects or other work-related tasks by breaking down the time into intervals of 25 minutes in length. These time intervals (pomodoros) are separated by short breaks.

After a fast and simple installation process where you do not have to do pretty much anything, except from pressing a few ‘Next’ buttons, you are faced with a small-sized timer. The pomodoro timer is placed on a fixed position on the desktop so you cannot move it to another location.

You cannot appeal to a help manual to read more about its configuration settings but you can get an idea about how the tool works in a short amount of time.

qomodoro offers you the possibility to start or stop a timer, check out the remaining time for the current pomodoro task, as well as get information about the completed percentage value.

The utility can be easily controlled from the system tray. You can left-click on its tray icon in order to show or hide the timer, middle-click to start or stop the timer, as well as right-click for showing the configuration settings.

A few setup parameters are hidden under the hood for helping you get statistics about the total number of started and completed timers for the current date, completed percentage, as well as general details about the maximum started and completed items, and average started/completed data. The statistics can be exported to CSV file format and you may reset them with a single click.

What’s more, you can set the time for each pomodoro time sessions in minutes, configure breaks in minutes, as well as ignore idle days.

To sum things up, qomodoro makes it really easy for you to time your activities and view how much time you dedicate to each task. It is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
