MuuTimer is a simple kitchen timer written in Python and using TK for GUI. It's behaviour can be controlled from the command line by using various command line options. It runs on GNU/Linux and Windows. USAGE $ muutimer --help Usage: muutimer [options] When using the different time options they will all add up so that you can, for example, set the timer to one hour and fifteen minutes by using -H 1 and -m 15 at the same time. Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit -s SECONDS, --seconds=SECONDS Time in seconds -m MINUTES, --minutes=MINUTES Time in minutes -H HOURS, --hours=HOURS Time in hours -a ACTION, --action=ACTION Set the action name --tick Turn tick sound on --no-finish-sound Turn finish sound off --no-start Turn auto start off --time-in-title Display time in the window title --sound=SOUND Sound file to play when time reaches zero. Must be a 16 bit WAV file -d, --debug Enable debug output By default, MuuTimer will start a timer of five minutes, with no tick sound and with finish sound enabled. THE IDEA The idea behind having these options on the command line is to be able to make shortcuts or command aliases to commonly used timer scenarios. Instead of making the UI overly complicated or using a settings file with timer presets you simple create shortcuts for whatever purposes you like. EXAMPLES Here are some examples to get you started. 15 minutes timer with tick sound enabled: $ muutimer -m 15 --tick Relax and take a micro typing break for half a minute: $ muutimer -s 30 -a "Typing break" NOTES Make sure the two wav files are in the same folder as the program. MuuTimer is free software and is distributed under the GPL v3. See muutimer.py and/or COPYING for more details. Happy timing!
