Building my first macOS app: A strict, zero-bloat menu bar Pomodoro timer. Looking for feedback!

Hey everyone,

I usually spend my time building full-stack web apps with React and Node, but I'm looking to dive into Swift and build my first native macOS application. I want to build something highly practical that I’d use during long coding sessions, so I'm thinking of building a minimalist Pomodoro timer.

There are a lot of Pomodoro apps out there, but many of them feel bloated with accounts, sync features, and complex history tracking. I want to build the exact opposite: a completely stateless app. No databases, no history, just a pure utility tool.

It will be a 100% menu bar native application and opens as a small, lightweight rectangular popover.

I would love to hear what you all think about this. Is this a very common project? Also would you be interested in using this?
