termdown is worth a mention https://github.com/trehn/termdown https://github.com/trehn/termdown It's a countdown timer that uses figlet to render the countdown. Here's a pomodoro timer script I use fairly often (`bup` is another script that emits a low pitched beep (a bup)): #!/bin/bash if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo $0: usage: pomodoro time_expr exit 1 fi TIME_EXPR=$1 get_time () { date "+%H:%M" } START=$(get_time) termdown --font big --critical 0 $TIME_EXPR \ && bup END=$(get_time) echo "$START - $END"
