> Focus timer for Mac with automatic Do Not Disturb

## What it does

Pomotto is a Pomodoro-style timer that integrates with macOS Do Not Disturb. Start a timer, your Mac goes quiet. Take a break, notifications come back.

## Key features

- Automatic Do Not Disturb: Timer starts, notifications stop. No manual toggling.
- Breaks restore connection: Break time brings notifications back automatically.
- Enforced breaks: Gentle chimes tell you to stop. No "just five more minutes."
- Smart filtering: Important calls and calendar alerts still get through.
- Ambient sounds: River, rain, storm, ocean, nature, cafe, fireplace. Or silence.
- Menu bar app: Lives out of the way. Keyboard shortcuts to start and stop.
- Custom durations: 25/5, 52/17, or any interval you prefer.
- Visual cues: Flash indicators when breaks start.
- macOS Focus modes: Works with your existing Focus mode settings.
- No stats, no gamification, no dashboards, no cloud sync.
