Describe the solution you'd like

Your tool is simple, and it's great. But it requires user to look at the terminal where pom is launched to know if the period is over.

By notifications, I mean desktop notifications (like notify-send would emit).

Additional context

A project like this could be used to send the notifications https://github.com/gen2brain/beeep

Yes! This is a great idea, I was also thinking about breaking up the focus and break times so you could use whichever notification daemon you want instead:

pom 25m && notify-send "Work done" \
  && pom --break 5m && notify-send "Break done"

Look at beeep, it doesn't depend on a notifier, pure dbus, but yes unix command could be a simple solution

I agree, no matter the implementation, either in the tool via a library, or via documentation as in the example @maaslalani gave, there is a need
