FYI, I'm not a trademark police, but "Pomodoro" is a registered trademark of Francesco Cirillo http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4810:gia...

"... ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL TIMERS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF TIME FOR USE IN THE FIELD OF TIME MANAGEMENT ..."

Yeah, I really hope that trademark gets revoked, as the phrase has clearly been genericized at this point:

Oh, thanks! That way I'll sleep well today :3
To track actual time I use Pomodoro timer for Linux, https://gnomepomodoro.org/ and so far so good ^_^ Thanks for mentioning it (not sure if I'll move to another domain, though.)
