timr is an interactive terminal application for managing elapsed time, countdowns and work intervals. It provides several timer modes within the same interface, making it useful for everything from short work sessions to longer activities and upcoming events.
The application includes a conventional stopwatch, countdown timer and Pomodoro mode. Work and break durations can be configured, including longer breaks after a specified number of rounds. It also supports Tabata intervals for exercise sessions.
An event mode allows timr to count towards a future date or measure time elapsed since an earlier event. The interface can display local time and uses a selection of visual styles, including lightweight and Braille-based representations.
timr supports keyboard navigation, optional Vim-style controls, desktop notifications and persistent settings. Its timer behaviour can also be configured using command-line options, making it convenient to launch directly into a particular mode.
This is free and open source software.
