Thomas – A Simple, Modern and Cross-platform Pomodoro Timer App for Linux

When time management is an issue, all other difficulties seem easy. There may be so much work to do and so much work you are doing, but if your time management is not accurate, then tasks can never be done with proper contentment. Managing time properly will let you be in the right track of dividing time rightfully and also note down the details of how much time do you need to do your work and how many times you are late and exceed the deadlines.

Nowadays, timer apps are all you need to be on the right path of maintaining the sharp balance of time and so these are the hot favorites of every busy people. This timer app helps you out to make the best use of your time in your desired productive cases rather wasting time here and there.

The technique of Pomodoro was introduced by Francesco Cirillo in late 1980 which usually work with the help of breaking down the tasks into the assigned periods which are separated by short breaks. These intervals are usually 25 minutes on the basis of length.

The work of all the timer apps of these days is identical but they work in a different matter, and so here we are introducing the “THOMAS” app for time management.
