Flow Pomodoro

A minimal Pomodoro timer for macOS. Built with Swift and SwiftUI.

Inspired by Flow -- I wanted the same core experience without the subscription and the bloat. The result is a ~1.5 MB app (vs ~70 MB for the original) that does everything I need: work sessions, breaks, configurable durations, saved setups, and keyboard-driven control.

The entire app was written by Claude Code (Opus 4.5) with minimal manual intervention.

How it does look like
