I am looking for a simple timer app to time video game events.
I am running xmonad/xmobar/trayer.
I like the idea of a timer i can run out of the system tray and/or float over in a small box over other windows.
I tried out kteatime and its pretty close to what i want but its pretty hard to see whats going on in the tiny system panel.
Any suggestions welcome! Maybe I should look at making a plugin for my xmobar?
You must log in or # to comment.
I’ll have to try this out!
Just open a terminal and run
t=0 ; while sleep 1 ; do let t++ ; echo $t ; donei think something like this could work. i guess some neat features to add would be:
- popup on complete
- audio notification on complete
Did you want a timer, or a stopwatch? A countdown with “wall” at the end is also rather trivial.
notify-send $someTextwill get you a popup at least, for many DEs.
