Hello everyone! I'm presenting you Flowkeeper -- a Pomodoro timer with a "classic" cross-platform UI paradigm (desktop-first, no Electron), which is designed to be powerful, simple, yet look nice. It is fast, and everything is configurable and accessible via keyboard. Some of the features: - Backlog management and full-text search, - Flowkeeper stays close to the original Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo. For example, it follows "all-or-nothing" approach to pomodoros, and mandates having rest after every working interval, - New backlogs can be created from the previous unfinished ones with a single keystroke, - Apple Health-like statistics for your Pomodoro Technique, - Ability to export the summary of your work, grouped by weeks and days -- useful for creating time sheets and reviewing your progress week over week, - The timer can either hide in system tray or display as a nice small window, - Configurable audio, including playing an MP3 during your resting intervals (this helps to put work aside and mentally prepare for next pomodoro), - Configurable keyboard shortcuts for all UI actions, - Configurable UI theme, fonts and colors, - Windows installer doesn't require admin rights. Also, there are portable executables for all supported operating systems, which do not require installation, - Flowkeeper only goes online to check for updates. It keeps your data stored locally. Flowkeeper is Free software -- there is neither a paid version, nor paid features. I am not sponsored by third parties and do not seek for donations. In other words, I'm not earning a single $ out of it -- this project is my passion and my hobby. I implemented the first version of Flowkeeper around 2010. Back then it got some positive reviews and even got packaged for Slackware Linux =) In 2023 I decided to revive the project and rewrite it from scratch, this time based on a new robust internal design, which would simplify adding new features. I worked for about a year to bring Flowkeeper to the current "stable" state, build it and test on various Windows, macOS and Linux environments. I've just decided that I need more time before I enable online data sync, so the current version only works locally / offline. Still, I consider it ready for personal use, and would love to get your early feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks!
