Beefsteak: A Simple Pomodoro Timer

Sometimes, there are things that you really need to get done. To help you grit your teeth and get it done, the Pomodoro Technique helps. By breaking time into blocks of work and rest, you are able to consistantly work for long periods of time. beefsteak aims to be a simple to use pomodoro timer written in C.

By default, the work time is 50 minutes. The break time is 10 minutes. With a default session amount of 3, that adds up to 3 hours of solid work.
