pomodoro.nvim

A Neovim plugin written (mostly) in Lua that implements the Pomodoro technique.

Features

When a timer goes off, a menu is displayed to prompt you to take a break (or start the next pomodoro) with the option to stop the Pomodoro session.

When these prompts are displayed, you can also press b to take a break (if applicable), p to start the next pomodoro (if applicable), or q to stop the Pomodoro session.

Requirements

• Neovim >= 0.5.0
• A patched font
• MunifTanjim/nui.nvim

Installation

Install the plugin with your preferred package manager.

packer

use {
    'wthollingsworth/pomodoro.nvim',
    requires = 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim'
}

Configuration

You can configure the length of the pomodoro, the length of a short break, the length of a long break, and the number of pomodoros that must be completed in order to take a longer break. The values shown below are the defaults.

Lua

use {
    'wthollingsworth/pomodoro.nvim',
    requires = 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim',
    config = function()
        require('pomodoro').setup({
            time_work = 25,
            time_break_short = 5,
            time_break_long = 20,
            timers_to_long_break = 4
        })
    end
}

Vimscript

let g:pomodoro_time_work = 25
let g:pomodoro_time_break_short = 5
let g:pomodoro_time_break_long = 20
let g:pomodoro_timers_to_long_break = 4
