I'm the maker of Pomodoro Timer Lite. Just shipped v1.5 with a feature I'm excited about: professional productivity reports.
*What's new in v1.5:*
• Export your Pomodoro sessions to CSV/PDF
• Weekly, monthly, and all-time reports
• Charts showing your productivity trends
• All generated locally - zero cloud, zero tracking
*Why I built this:*
I wanted a Pomodoro timer that:
- Doesn't bloat my Mac (most are 10-30MB, this is 1.5MB)
- Respects my privacy (no analytics, no accounts)
- Lets me own my data (hence the export feature)
- Doesn't cost $10/month
*Tech stack:*
- Pure Swift + SwiftUI (no dependencies)
- Core Graphics for PDF rendering
- Menu bar integration via AppKit
- All data stored in UserDefaults (local only)
The app is free on App Store and fully open source (MIT license).
