Red-Tomatoes is a command line timer app mainly built on the Console and Clap crates. Designed while I was procrastinating to avoid procrastinating. (I still ended up procrastinating btw 😭)

Requires a rust installation to build.

# Clone repository to any given folder.
git clone https://github.com/MigraineBuddy/red-tomatoes.git

# Change directory to repo clone
cd ./red-tomatoes/

# Cargo will do the rest of the heavy lifting.
cargo build -r && cargo install --path .

Note: Only available on Windows for now. Download the latest release and run directly. A rust install shouldn't be necessary.

./red-tomatoes.exe --help

You will be missed 😔 <3

cargo uninstall red-tomatoes

# To delete the cloned repo from the command line.
rm -rf ./red-tomatoes/

The red-tomatoes command comprises two subcommands that you need to know about: pomodoro, which is a standard pomodoro timer with default work and break time durations, and timer, which you can use as a standard timer.

# Basic timer usage. (duration is in seconds)
red-tomatoes timer --timer-name "Boiling an egg." --duration 900

# Pomodoro timer usage. it'll run the default Pomodoro timer if ran without any arguments.
# Work (25 mins) -> Short Break (5 mins) -> Work -> Short Break -> Work -> Long Break (15 mins)
red-tomatoes pomodoro

# For more info.
red-tomatoes --help

• Incorporate color configuration for timers into the structs.
• Divide the code into multiple different files.
• Add cutesy animations and other tweaks to enhance the user experience.
• Add desktop notifications.
