Open Source Pomodoro Timers

This is a framework for building desktop applications that reside in the system tray using Electron. It functions as a system tray integration library and window manager, providing the necessary components to handle native tray icons, tooltips, and the associated window lifecycles for menubar applications. The framework coordinates native system tray interactions with web-based user interfaces. It maps application commands to the operating system's native menu system and orchestrates the visibility and positioning of child windows relative to tray icon click events. The project covers native menu creation and configuration, along with programmatic window visibility control. It includes mechanisms for managing application lifecycle events and state-driven visibility transitions.

Bitbar is a host application and script runner for macOS that displays the output of shell scripts and programs directly in the system menu bar. It functions as a status monitor, turning dynamic data from periodic script execution into persistent visual widgets. The tool enables the integration of custom scripts to monitor system health, external API updates, and other real-time data without requiring a terminal. It also supports the installation and management of community-created plugins to extend its monitoring capabilities.

This project is a local-first task manager and time tracking tool designed to consolidate work items from multiple external project management platforms into a single, unified interface. By prioritizing local data sovereignty, it ensures that all task lists, time logs, and application states remain on the user's device, providing full functionality in offline environments while maintaining privacy. The application distinguishes itself through a focus on deep work and structured productivity rituals. It integrates distraction-free modes, configurable focus timers, and automated time tracking to help users maintain concentration and monitor effort against specific tasks. Users can capture interruptions instantly via global shortcuts, manage complex projects through subtasks, and visualize their daily commitments using integrated calendar feeds and timeboxing tools. Beyond core task management, the platform offers extensive extensibility through a plugin-based architecture, allowing for custom automation and the creation of specialized service adapters. It supports secure, user-managed synchronization across devices by applying local encryption to data before it is transferred to external storage providers. The system also provides robust reporting capabilities, enabling users to generate client invoices, analyze work performance, and monitor project budgets based on tracked time data. The software is distributed as a cross-platform desktop application that utilizes a native wrapper to provide system-level access and persistent background execution.
