    Hi HN!

    I'm the maker of Pomodoro Timer Lite. Just shipped v1.5 with a feature I'm excited about: professional productivity reports.

    *What's new in v1.5:* • Export your Pomodoro sessions to CSV/PDF • Weekly, monthly, and all-time reports • Charts showing your productivity trends • All generated locally - zero cloud, zero tracking

    *Why I built this:*

    I wanted a Pomodoro timer that: - Doesn't bloat my Mac (most are 10-30MB, this is 1.5MB) - Respects my privacy (no analytics, no accounts) - Lets me own my data (hence the export feature) - Doesn't cost $10/month

    *Tech stack:* - Pure Swift + SwiftUI (no dependencies) - Core Graphics for PDF rendering - Menu bar integration via AppKit - All data stored in UserDefaults (local only)

    The app is free on App Store and fully open source (MIT license).

    Happy to answer any questions about the implementation or design choices!

    *P.S.* If you try it, I'd really appreciate feedback - both positive and critical. Still learning and improving!
