A small pomodoro timer written in C
A very simple pomodoro timer which requires no dependencies. Must be ran as root in order to get sound, as the internal PC speaker is used for the alarm.
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created by Francesco Cirillo, ideal for studying or other work. See the Wikipedia article for more information on the Pomodoro Technique.
- gcc
- Linux
Compile:
gcc pomodoro.c -o pomodoro
If you require sound:
sudo chown root:root ./pomodoro
sudo chmod 4755. /pomodoro
If the pcspkr kernel module isn't already loaded:
sudo modprobe pcspkr
Run:
./pomodoro
- This program does not accept parameters, to tweak, recompile. This is due to security concerns, as the program should be running as root in order to access the PC speaker.
