Read the licenseAbout Tempo
Tempo is a native macOS app with a pomodoro timer, kanban boards for tasks and a calendar of past sessions. Cards can carry hour estimates and Markdown notes, and the statistics view shows trends and the mix of apps used. During a focus session it samples the frontmost app, and it reads window titles only if you have already granted Accessibility. It suits people who work in timed blocks and want a private record of their time, stored locally.
It requires macOS 26 or later on Apple silicon. The DMG is ad-hoc signed and not notarized, so macOS warns on first launch and you have to choose Open from the context menu. The code is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, which rules out commercial use without separate permission. The author describes it as a clean-room rewrite inspired by PomodoroLogger rather than a fork of it.
