[Suggestion] Notification sounds

[j3mdamas]

Thanks, this seems like the best of the solutions I found for Linux.

I find the "Desktop Notifications" option useful, but I still think the alert sound (at least in Linux under GNOME) is very short and low volume, specially if one if listening to focusing music while working. It would be great if the notification duration and volume (until turned-off, like an alarm) could be edited.

Best, João

May I suggest to allow to choose a sound file from a local directory?

[andersonpem]

+1 for this feature :)

[conradmcha]

@hamdyl052 where is the path of the local for that ? I can't find the .wav or .mp3 file

@napstercc I meant any local directory, e.g. inside My Music.

Three years. Strong plea

I think it's an issue that plagues many public projects. There's only enough time to dedicate to them and many times more people asking for features than becoming involved in the projects. @Splode, please feel free to close this suggestion if you'd like to.

@bearcai Maybe open an issue hunt with some money to get people motivated?

@j3mdamas I've been leaving this issue open, along with others, with the hope someone will pick it up as a feature contribution, or so that it serves as a feature story for the next version of Pomotroid.

Good discussion in this thread. I can certainly understand the frustration!

It would be great if after every finish, there was sound settings for at least 3 seconds. Then we can turn on the timer or the break time manually.

This would be great! Missing the sound all the time. :)

Please add this feature! Either selectable tones or a longer/repeating tone are essential. I honestly don't know how people are able to make this work for them. I've been trying to use Pomotroid for the past couple of days, but it's not helping a lot because I'm missing every other alert! I really love the app and don't want to use a different one, but it's just not working for me since I don't know when periods begin/end unless I just happen to look.

FWIW, I actually recently rediscovered Pomotroid, and was reminded why I had to stop using it before. I'd make a PR myself, but my pomodoro timer didn't tell me my break is over. ;)
