Minidoro for Sailfish OS

Minidoro is a minimalist Pomodoro® Technique timer helping to get things done.

This app is modelled after Minidoro for Android by Yury Pavlov. You can get it from F-Droid if you are using Android.

How it works

The Pomodoro® Technique is an extremely simple but efficient time management technique developed by Francesco Cirillo.

The basic idea is it’s simpler to concentrate on work for a relatively short period, keeping in mind you can take a rest or switch to another activity afterwards.

Split your work for 25 minute intervals, separated by short break periods.
In these 25 minute intervals try to focus on your work as much as possible, try to not distract yourself and to avoid other distractions.
After a 25 minute interval take a 5 minute break. During this break do any other activities except for the previous work.
Return to the work after the break.
Take a long break of about 10–30 minutes after every 4 work intervals.

See the website for an in-depth explanation.

Counters

There are two counters at the bottom of the main page. They can be used to count anything. For example, you can count external interruptions with the left counter, while counting internal interruptions (you interrupting yourself) with the right counter. See also this issue.

Help and support

You are welcome to leave a comment in the forum if you have any questions or ideas.

Translations

It would be wonderful if the app could be translated in as many languages as possible!

Translations are managed using Weblate. Please prefer this over pull request (which are still welcome, of course). If you just found a minor problem, you can also leave a comment in the forum or open an issue.

Please include the following details:

the language you were using
where you found the error
the incorrect text
the correct translation

Manually updating translations

Please prefer using Weblate over this. You can follow these steps to manually add or update a translation:

If it did not exists before, create a new catalog for your language by copying the base file translations/harbour-minidoro.ts. Then add the new translation to harbour-minidoro.pro.
Add yourself to the list of contributors in qml/pages/AboutPage.qml.
(optional) Translate the app’s name in harbour-minidoro.desktop if there is a (short) native term for it in your language.

See the Qt documentation for details on how to translate date formats to your local format.
