Tricks that you can do with pymodoro

Synchronize your Pomodoro with friends or across computers

Since Pymodoro works by checking the modification date of the session file, as long as this file is synchronized on the these computers, your Pomodoro is in-sync.

So you can put your pomodoro_session file in a Dropbox folder that you share with your friends. Whenever you touch this session file, Dropbox will update all other copies and you are all in sync.

Thus, Pymodoro has group-support by design ;-)

Resume your Pomodoro

The pymodoro.py script can be resumed at will. This means that if you change its settings, all you need to do is to restart the script and it will pick up where it is left. Especially useful when you are spending a Pomodoro to configure Pymodoro to your liking.

If you are using Pymodoro with xmonad (like it is designed for), then restarting xmonad (and hence xmobar) will keep your Pomodoro running.
