// what it is

Pomodoro with a rival.

Synchronized Pomodoro timer for two. Connect with a friend via a 4-letter code. Work harder than each other, one round at a time.

No apps. No accounts. No wellness nonsense. Just a binary: you worked, or you didn't.

// how it works

Three steps. No excuses.

./pomodare — launch

Run it. That's it. No config. No setup wizard.

Share your 4-letter code

Your rival enters it on their machine. You're linked. The clock is ticking.

Press P when you start working. Don't give up.

Your rival sees your status in real time. Every round is a bet on yourself.

No rival? Run ./pomodare and press S for solo mode.

// the mechanic

Simple rules. Real pressure.

⏱

25 min work / 5 min break. Classic Pomodoro. No negotiation.

Declare each round with P. You're committing. Your rival knows.

✓

Round only counts if you last 20 minutes. Quit early, it doesn't count.

👁

See your rival's status in real time. Know if they're slacking. Use it.
