Tomato timer Linux

Why?

Parkinson's law: "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion."

To increase productivity, avoid the "attention economy", "social media" and other malicious industries that waste your time.

By default the timer hides after time completes. You can change behavior by changing code.

Unity

If you use Ubuntu Unity and want a desktop shortcut (change path to script and 10 to whatever seconds)

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
