In case anyone else wanted this. Added functions for specifying the time.

Use:
w 50 # work 50 minutes

# Mac setup for pomo
alias work="timer 60m && terminal-notifier -message 'Pomodoro'\
        -title 'Work Timer is up! Take a Break 😊'\
        -appIcon '~/Pictures/pumpkin.jpg'\
        -sound Crystal"
        
alias rest="timer 10m && terminal-notifier -message 'Pomodoro'\
        -title 'Break is over! Get back to work 😬'\
        -appIcon '~/Pictures/pumpkin.jpg'\
        -sound Crystal"

w() {
    timer "${1}m" && terminal-notifier -message 'Pomodoro'\
        -title 'Work Timer is up! Take a Break 😊'\
        -appIcon '~/Pictures/pumpkin.jpg'\
        -sound Crystal
}

r() {
