TomatoBar is a small open source Pomodoro timer that lives quietly in the macOS menu bar. It suits students, writers and developers who work in focused bursts, want clear break reminders, and prefer a tool that does one job well instead of tracking their whole life.

Key Features

• Configurable work and rest intervals let you match classic Pomodoro timing or your own rhythm
• Menu bar countdown stays visible at a glance without covering the app you are working in
• Optional sounds and discreet notifications mark the end of each interval without startling you
• A global hotkey starts and stops the timer from any app with one quick press
• Event log in JSON format records timer changes if you like reviewing your focus patterns later
