Nice setup! I built a Go CLI tool inspired by this approach - handles notifications and timing with a simple config file:
https://github.com/Bahaaio/pomo

you can do:

  • pomo (work session)
  • pomo 15m (custom duration)
  • pomo break

Is cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
Includes pause/resume, add/subtract time, and reset functionality.

pomo

example notification config:

notification:
    enabled: true
    title: work finished 🎉
    message: time to take a break
    icon: ~/my/icon.png
