⚡ Quick Answer
Pomotroid_1.7.1_x64-setup.exe from our download page (or the official GitHub releases), run it, and if SmartScreen appears click More info → Run anyway — that warning is normal for open-source apps. The whole process takes about two minutes.Download the installer
Click the Windows download button on our download page — it points straight to Pomotroid_1.7.1_x64-setup.exe (64-bit) on the official GitHub releases. The file is small (Tauri build, not Electron bloat).
Run it — handle the SmartScreen warning
Double-click the installer. Windows will likely show “Windows protected your PC” — click More info, then Run anyway. This is expected: SmartScreen flags all installers without an expensive commercial certificate, including legitimate open-source software. (Only do this if you downloaded from the official source.)
Finish setup and launch
Follow the installer prompts (defaults are fine), then launch Pomotroid from the Start menu. No account, no sign-up — the timer is ready immediately.
Make it yours
Open Settings: pick a theme from 20+ options, enable Always on Top to keep the timer visible, and try the tick sound. Then read our beginner’s guide for the 5-step tour.
