Mater

This is a minimal menubar Pomodoro app written in Electron. It simply runs a 25 minute timer, resets for a 5 minute break, and repeats until you stop it.

Installation

Binaries for Mac, Windows, and Linux are available on the releases page.

macOS

1. Download the .dmg from Releases
2. Open the DMG and drag Mater to Applications
3. Important: Before first launch, run this command in Terminal:

   xattr -cr /Applications/Mater.app
   

4. Open Mater from Applications

This removes the quarantine flag that macOS adds to downloaded apps. Without this step, macOS will show a warning that the app is damaged.

Note: I'm not able to test the Windows and Linux builds, so please open an issue if you have any problems.

Contributions

I don't have plans to add much else at this time, so please open an issue to discuss any feature ideas before implementing them.

Development

$ git clone https://github.com/jasonlong/mater
$ cd mater
$ npm install
$ npm start

What's with the name?

I'm a Pixar fan and Mater is awesome. "Like Ta-mater without the ta". Get it?
