Built To Work On The Screen Most People Reach For.
Most people try a free tool on their phone before they ever open it on a desktop. This is how the app actually looks and works there, screen by screen.
- Most people reach for a tool on their phone first, so the mobile experience is designed to carry that weight, not squeezed in after the desktop build.
- Every screen shown here, not a single cropped view, so you can see how the whole app holds together on a real screen.
- The exact live build, captured straight off the shipped app.
Project Overview
How The Project Came Together.
Problem
CLI Pomodoro Timer is a small utility project built around a straightforward goal: provide a distraction-free focus timer that still remembers session history.
Approach
This is intentionally a modest project. Its value in the portfolio comes from clean CLI behavior, durable lightweight persistence, and showing product judgment about when a tool does not need more complexity.
Result
Not every useful build needs a full web stack. This project helps show that the work can scale down just as intentionally as it scales up.
Challenges & Learnings
What It Took, And What Came Out Of It.
Challenge
Keeping the experience simple while still making the tool useful enough to revisit.
Learning
Small tools still deserve thoughtful UX, even when the surface is only the terminal.
Challenge
Persisting just enough session history to add value without bloating the workflow.
Learning
Lightweight persistence can make a tiny utility feel much more complete.
Challenge
Designing a CLI interaction that feels clean instead of cryptic.
Learning
A focused problem solved well is more valuable than adding unnecessary features.
