🎨 Themes

Pomodorolm provides many themes. It's also theme-able, allowing you to customize its appearance.

Visit the theme documentation to view the full list of official themes and for instruction on creating your own.

💻 Dev

You will need to install rust first and https://github.com/astral-sh/uv for thepre-commit hooks and the release script.

Install pre-commit hooks

uv sync
uv run pre-commit install

Install node dependencies

npm ci

Running the app

npm run tauri dev

Running only the webapp

npm run dev

🔨 Build

If you're using Linux be sure to set the NO_STRIP env var to true (see tauri-apps/tauri#8929 ) if the build is failing.

NO_STRIP=true npm run tauri build -- --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

If the build is still failing try to understand why using:

NO_STRIP=true npm run tauri build -- --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --verbose

You can also try to build using docker-compose (to maximize compatibility, normal build is failing on Archlinux for example):

docker-compose run --rm --build build-linux

Build files will be placed in the target/ directory.

💀 Troubleshooting

Linux

Failed to create GBM buffer of size…

If you run into this error, it is likely because you're using nvidia drivers under Linux. They are several bug reports in Webkit, cf this issue for wails: wailsapp/wails#2977 (comment).

You can try to run pomodorolm using this command:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 pomodorolm

Thanks to @Bad3r for the bug report!

Windows

App starts and then closes immediately or doesn't start at all

Check that your antivirus (Windows defender or whatever antivirus you are using) doesn't report the app as a trojan. Unfortunately, there is a known issue tauri-apps/tauri#2486 on Tauri where a false positive is reported when executing apps generated with Tauri on Windows.
