A focused Pomodoro timer for GNOME
Tired of Pomodoro apps that look like they belong on Windows 7. Built my own for GNOME — GTK4, libadwaita, Python. Circular timer, session dots, built-in todo list with markdown import/export. That's it.

Been using various Pomodoro apps for a while but none of them felt right on GNOME. Either they were Electron, or they looked like they were designed for Windows 7, or they had 40 settings I'd never touch.
So I wrote my own. It's called Tempus.
It's a GTK4/libadwaita app, Python under the hood. The whole point is that it stays out of your way — circular progress ring, session dots so you know where you are in the cycle, and a little todo list that can import/export Markdown if you want to keep track of what you're actually doing during each focus block.
What it does:
.md file, check things off, export it backIt's v0.1 so still fresh. Flathub submission is in progress.

Would love any feedback, especially if something looks off on your setup.
