Flowkeeper is a free, open-source Pomodoro timer and productivity management application designed to help users improve focus, organize tasks, and track their work. Based on the original Pomodoro Technique developed by Francesco Cirillo, the software helps users break work into focused intervals separated by short breaks to maintain concentration and reduce burnout. Flowkeeper includes task lists, daily backlogs, customizable task categories, and progress tracking tools for managing personal and professional workloads. The application provides configurable timers, desktop notifications, sound alerts, keyboard shortcuts, and system tray indicators to support distraction-free work sessions. Users can analyze their productivity through weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics, generate work summaries, and export activity data in formats such as CSV, JSON, and Markdown. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Flowkeeper offers a lightweight, privacy-focused desktop experience.

I tested many Pomodoro screen timers, but this one is the easier to use, and the most complete. Moreover, it looks pretty much better than others ^^ Great job !
