Welcome to the Pomodoro wiki!
-
Q: Why don’t you provide a downloadable binary?
- A: Apple requires that the App Store has the best price: they can ban you from the Store if you don’t comply. So I can’t offer a binary for free if I want to continue to stay on the Store. Just build it.
-
Q: What if I don’t like the App Store, old 0.31 version is not enough and I don’t know how to build it?
- A: Building Pomodoro is now as easy as it could be, but it’s not for everyone. Just ask a friend to build it for you! Or make a donation >= to the App Store price and I’ll send you a binary.
-
Q: How do you build the project from source?
- A: git clone https://github.com/ugol/pomodoro.git then open the project with XCode4 and compile.
-
Q: Is Pomodoro free and open source?
- A: Yes it is open source, but builds aren’t free. From 1.0 onwards, Pomodoro is downloadable only in Mac App Store℠. That means it isn’t free anymore, although it is offered at a very low price. And for Apple there can’t be the same software at a lower price, so I had to remove the binary downloads from my site. The code is still 99.99% open source: you can build your own version from the source and use it for free
-
Q: Why 99.99% open source and not 100% open source?
- A: The code is all free, but I can’t share the keys that Twitter assigned exclusively to Pomodoro. So there are two empty #defines in TwitterSecrets.h. You can use your own secrets if you want to tweet your Pomodoros, or simply continue to use Pomodoro without the Twitter integration
-
Q: What are the variables you can bind in Pomodoro notifications?
- A: In all kind of notifications textfields (Growl, Calendar, Speech, Twitter and Applescript) you can use $pomodoroName, $duration, $dailyPomodoroDone and $globalPomodoroDone placeholders to indicate current name, current duration and daily/global pomodoros done respectively. In Interrupt notifications text, you can also use $secs placeholder to indicate the interrupt duration. In “Every” notification text, you can also use $mins, $passed and $time placeholders to indicate respectively interval time, total time passed and how much time is left. In “Mood Message” chat integration text, you can use $dueTime and $startedAt to indicate when the Pomodoro will finish and when it started, respectively.
