🎯 Usage

Start with the default Pomodoro flow:

pomo

Run a custom session:

pomo --work 25 --break 5 --cycles 4

Run continuously until interrupted:

pomo --cycles 0

Option	Description	Default
--work	Work duration in minutes	25
--break	Break duration in minutes	5
--cycles	Number of work/break cycles, 0 = infinite	0

Keyboard controls

Key	Action
p	Pause / Resume
N	Move immediately to next phase
R	Reset the whole session
Ctrl + C	Quit

Notes

• --work and --break must be positive integers
• --cycles must be a non-negative integer
• Very small terminals automatically fall back to compact text rendering
• In tmux, use the keys directly in the running app pane
• The status area shows the current cycle and adapts to pane resizing
