FAQ

Is Pomodoro free?

Yes. The app is open source under the MIT License.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows (x64 and arm64), and Linux (x64 and arm64). See Install.

Why does macOS say the app is damaged?

Unsigned downloads are quarantined by Gatekeeper. Clear quarantine once:

xattr -cr /Applications/Pomodoro.app

Details: Install → macOS.

Why can’t I drag the window?

Use the title bar strip or empty area around the timer (and the ring). Toolbar buttons are not drag handles. Fixed in v0.1.1 for overlay title bars.

Where is my data stored?

On your device only - settings/tasks in a local store, session history in SQLite. See Privacy.

Does it sync across devices?

No. There is no cloud sync. You can back up the app data directory yourself if needed.

Can I change the 25/5/15 defaults?

Yes - open Settings (gear or ⌘, on macOS) and edit phase lengths and long-break cadence.
