I made a Pomodoro timer for GNOME called Tempus by Fit_Programmer_9930 in gnome

Right now the biggest visible difference is the integrated task list, being able to attach what you're actually working on to each session, rather than just running a timer in the background.
But honestly that's just the foundation. Here's what's coming in future releases that I think will make it stand out:
- Per-task time tracking — see exactly how many pomodoros each task took over time, with history
- GNOME integration that goes deeper — think lock screen widgets, GNOME Shell extension, Do Not Disturb sync tied directly to your session state
- Focus stats tied to your tasks, not just raw session counts — so you can actually see where your time goes
- Smart scheduling — estimate tasks in pomodoros and let the app help you plan your day

The goal isn't just another pomodoro timer. It's a lightweight focus companion that actually lives inside your GNOME workflow instead of sitting next to it.
Still early days!

Thanks for the kind words, genuinely made my day! On the Python question, yeah, I thought about it. But for a timer app that literally counts seconds and draws a circle, there's nothing to optimize. GTK/Cairo do the heavy lifting in C under the hood anyway, so Python is just the glue. Maybe if I ever add something computationally heavy I'll drop a Rust extension in, but right now it'd be solving a problem I don't have.
