Configuration

PomoBar offers several options to customize your Pomodoro experience. You can access these settings by going to Settings > Community Plugins > PomoBar.

Timer Durations

  • Work time: The duration of your work intervals in minutes. (Default: 25)
  • Short break time: The duration of your short breaks in minutes. (Default: 5)
  • Long break time: The duration of your long breaks in minutes. (Default: 15)
  • Long break interval: The number of work intervals before a long break. (Default: 4)

Timer Behavior

  • Auto-start Next Timer: Automatically start the next timer in the cycle when the current timer completes. When enabled, timers will flow seamlessly from work to break and back without requiring manual interaction. When disabled (default), timers pause after completion, requiring you to manually start the next phase. (Default: disabled)
  • Persistent Notifications: Keep completion notifications visible until you interact with the timer. When enabled, notifications will remain open and sound will play repeatedly until you start/pause/reset the timer. When disabled, notifications show briefly and timers pause after completion. (Default: disabled)

Status Bar

  • Show status bar timer: Toggle the visibility of the entire timer in the status bar. When disabled, the timer will be completely hidden from the status bar. (Default: enabled)
  • Show status bar icon: Toggles the visibility of the timer icon in the status bar. This controls only the icon display, not the timer text. (Default: disabled)
  • Use custom status bar icon: Allows you to set a custom icon for the status bar. You can use any icon from the Lucide icon pack.

Sound Notifications

  • Enable sound notifications: Toggle audio alerts when timers complete.
  • Sound selection: Choose from available notification sounds.
  • Sound volume: Adjust the volume level for sound notifications (0.0 to 1.0).
  • Custom sound: Option to use a custom URL or local file instead of default sounds.
