Pomotroid for Windows

Pomotroid_1.7.1_x64-setup.exe 64-bit Installer • Windows 10/11
Download .exe File

Hosted on GitHub • Virus Free

How to Install on Windows 10/11

  1. Download: Click the button to download the .exe installer.
  2. Run Installer: Double-click the file. Windows SmartScreen might pop up since the developer certificate is self-signed.
  3. Bypass SmartScreen: If prompted, click “More info” and then “Run anyway”. This is safe as long as you downloaded from our link (GitHub).
  4. Launch: Once installed, Pomotroid will open automatically. You can pin it to your taskbar for quick access.

Note: Pomotroid does not support Windows 7 or 8 natively. It is optimized for Windows 10 and 11.

Pomotroid for macOS

Pomotroid_1.7.1_universal.dmg Universal binary • Intel & Apple Silicon
Download .dmg File

Requires macOS 10.10 or later

Native Apple Silicon support:
v1.7.1 ships as a universal binary that runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs — no Rosetta 2 needed.

“App Can’t Be Opened”? Read This.

Because this is free open-source software, the developer did not pay Apple for a certificate. macOS may block it by default.

How to Bypass the Warning:

  1. Move Pomotroid to your Applications folder.
  2. Right-click (or Control-click) the app icon.
  3. Select Open from the context menu.
  4. A dialog will appear saying it’s from an unidentified developer. Click Open again. You only need to do this once.

Pomotroid for Linux

Pomotroid_1.7.1_amd64.AppImage Universal Linux Package
Download .AppImage

Works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, etc.

How to Run (.AppImage)

AppImage files are portable applications that run on most Linux distributions without installation.

# 1. Make the file executable
chmod +x Pomotroid_1.7.1_amd64.AppImage
# 2. Run the application
./Pomotroid_1.7.1_amd64.AppImage

Tip: You can also right-click the file, go to Properties > Permissions, and check “Allow executing file as program”. Prefer a system package? v1.7.1 also ships as .deb (Debian/Ubuntu) and .rpm (Fedora) on the GitHub releases page.

Troubleshooting Downloads

Common issues and how to fix them instantly.

⚠️ Why does my browser say “File is not commonly downloaded”? +

This is a standard security warning from Chrome or Edge for open-source software that hasn’t paid for a costly enterprise signing certificate.

The Fix: Click the arrow next to the warning, select “Keep” or “More actions > Keep anyway”. The file is hosted directly on GitHub and is safe.

🍎 macOS says “App is damaged and can’t be opened” +

This is caused by Apple’s Gatekeeper security feature quarantining the app. It does not mean the file is actually corrupt.

xattr -cr /Applications/Pomotroid.app

The Fix: Open your Terminal app, paste the command above, and hit Enter. This removes the quarantine flag and allows the app to launch.

💻 Can I install via Command Line (Winget / Homebrew)? +

Yes, Pomotroid is available in popular package managers maintained by the community.

  • Windows (Winget): winget install Pomotroid
  • macOS (Homebrew): brew install --cask pomotroid
