Description
Nomad is a free, open-source work/break timer for the desktop. Set work and rest durations, press Start, and it cycles until you stop it. Native notifications on every switch. Lives in your system tray and closes to tray instead of quitting, so you never lose a session. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics, no subscription. Settings are one JSON file on your machine. Built with Tauri v2, React and Rust. Windows, macOS and Linux.
