I was struggling to sit down and start my side projects, so I began reading more about productivity and motivation. Eventually I ended up writing a tiny Pomodoro timer for my terminal — mostly just to help myself get moving.
It’s super minimal: you enter the title, work time, break time, and number of intervals. At the end it generates a simple session report and asks you to write your own conclusion. I like reading my own reports later, so I added that feature.
I also enjoy reading short reports and summaries, so adding them felt natural. And honestly, I prefer building simple tools myself rather than hunting for the “perfect” app.
Works on Windows & Linux, needs only Python.

I’m not a lawyer, but I would argue this actually means that even people who get it from Gumroad can’t use it “legally”. There should be a license which expresses your intent.
Buying the product gives people the right to use it — the license is only needed for redistribution or modifying the files. But yeah, you’re right that adding a license would make everything clearer. I’ll include one next time to avoid any confusion.
It’s implied, but it’s not clear - which is why whenever you “buy” software you actually buy a license to use it which clearly states how, where and by whom it may be used, on how many devices, under which conditions, etc etc etc.
That applies to licensed software. Here you’re not buying a license — just the right to use the tool. A license is only needed if someone wants to copy, modify or redistribute it.
