0I built a lightweight Pomodoro timer for macOS that lives in the menu bar.
Why another Pomodoro app? - Most are bloated (10-30MB for a timer?) - Many require subscriptions - Privacy concerns with cloud sync features
This one is: - Just 1.5MB (native Swift/SwiftUI, zero dependencies) - Completely free & open source (MIT) - Zero telemetry or data collection - Local-only data storage
Features: - Customizable work/rest durations - 7-day productivity tracking - Auto-start options - Native macOS design
Technical details: - Built with Swift 5.9 and SwiftUI - Menu bar app (LSUIElement) - UserDefaults for persistence - Charts framework for visualizations

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation or design decisions!
