+# 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.
+
+`beefsteak` is free/libre software. It is released under the GPLv3 license, which is found in the `LICENSE` file.
+# Requirements
+- `libnotify` (To send notifcations)
+ - Some sort of notification program (Ex. `dunst`)
+# Install
+`sudo make install`
+
+For me personally, I choose to alias `beefsteak` to `bfs` in my `~/.bashrc`.
+# Uninstall
+`sudo make uninstall`
