About

c-timer is a CLI utility for setting timers, alarms, and Pomodoro sessions that trigger native macOS notifications. It uses background sleep processes with `terminal-notifier` to deliver alerts, making it ideal for developers needing simple, scriptable time management from the terminal.

Timer — Countdowns & Pomodoro

Set timers and get notified via native macOS notifications. Uses terminal-notifier and background sleep.

# Timer with custom message
(sleep 1800 && terminal-notifier -title "Timer" -message "Break time!" -sound Glass) &

Pomodoro Workflow

When the user asks for pomodoro:

Start 25-minute work timer
Notify when work session ends
Start 5-minute break timer
Notify when break ends
Repeat (ask user after 4 cycles if they want a 15-min long break)

Guidelines

Always confirm the timer was set with the exact duration
Use & to run in background so the terminal stays responsive
Default sound: default for timers, Purr for pomodoro
If terminal-notifier is not installed, fall back to say command
For "remind me in X minutes", treat as a timer
Convert natural language: "half hour" = 1800s, "quarter hour" = 900s
