Needlessly Complex Pomodoro

A bash script warper for zenity that has no right being this convoluted.

What is this?

This:

#!/bin/bash

INTERVAL_1=25
INTERVAL_2=5

zenity \
    --question \
    --title="Pomodoro" \
    --text="Let's start!" \
    --ok-label="Ok ($INTERVAL_1 mins)" || exit

while true; do
    sleep "${INTERVAL_1}m"
    zenity \
        --question \
        --title="Pomodoro" \
        --text="Break time!" \
        --ok-label="Ok ($INTERVAL_2 mins)" || break
    sleep "${INTERVAL_2}m"
    zenity \
        --question \
        --title="Pomodoro" \
        --text="Work time!" \
        --ok-label="Ok ($INTERVAL_1 mins)" || break
done

...But the dev just kept on throwing bells and whistles on top of it until the line count exceeded 250!

"Features"

• Configurable values

  • Like all of them. Don't like the value of a variable? Override it at your terminal session or in the .env.

  • Literally infinite intervals. No arbitrary limits here! 3? 5? 152? 1? Just define more POMO_INTERVAL_* variables!

• Desktop integration: Want your pomodoro accessible in your application menu? Your local binary folder? Just run the installation wizard.

• Code by human ...which explains all the abominations in there to be honest...:

  • All elbow grease from an overachiever. No AI tampering with code here.
    • The ./resources folder, on the other hand... (see licensing)

• Randomized Button Labels

  • 450+ randomized labels for the buttons, titles, and text, generated by Claude 3.7 Sonnet, ranging from Rawr xD random l337sp34k to modern Skibidi ohio references
  • User extendable too (if you are willing to put up with the horrors)

• (Next to) 0 dependencies: see next section.

Requirements:

Are you running modern Ubuntu?

Then yes, it'll run.

For everyone else:

• A modern version of zenity (No support for kdialog, yet).
• A modern version of bash.
• (Optional) gio for the uninstallation to move the files to the trash instead of falling back to the scary rm -r.

Running:

• Open this folder in terminal, type bash [script name here].bash.
• Or give the script executable permission (there's so much guide online), right click → (some variant of "Run this as a program...")

Licensing:

• With exceptions to the contents in ./resources, all code are written by a human and is available under the MIT License.
• Contents of the files in ./resources was AI generated by the LLM Claude 3.7 Sonnet with very little human input relative to the output and should be inapplicable for copyright (See LICENSE-DATA).

[ TODO ]

• Add .gifs
• Fix Sonnet's semi broken svg icon
