Add a sound to mark the end of the rest interval #51

Total non-coder here, very much a Pomodoro fan. TomatoBar might be the nicest menu bar timer I’ve seen. I esp. like the plain white icon (like everything else in the menu bar) and the way the time doesn’t shift around slightly as the digits change.

The one thing I think is missing: a sound when the rest interval is over. It’d be nice to be able to close my eyes or step away from the desk and hear that the two minutes are up, without having to check the menu bar. For me, having to watch the time kinda defeats the idea of taking a break.

A comment on my blog cleared it up for me. Adding the wind-up sound marks the end of a break. I was thinking only about dings.

I think it would be nice to have 2 separate sound options so we can have one specific for the end of a break

This would be really useful! The wind up sound only plays when you automatically start the time again after the break.

personally, I like to restart the timer manually when my break is done, nothing is more annoying than coming back to your desk and the timer is already running.

solution would be to have a dedicated end break sound for the people who have disabled auto-starting
