timer

A sleep with progress.

---

Timer is a small CLI, similar to the sleep everyone already knows and love, with a couple of extra features:

• a progress bar indicating the progression of said timer
• a timer showing how much time is left
• named timers

Usage

timer <duration>
timer -n <name> <duration>
man timer
timer --help

It is possible to pass a time unit for <duration>.

Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". If no unit is passed, it defaults to seconds ("s").

If you want to show the start time in 24-hour format, use --format 24h. For example:

timer 5s --format 24h -n Demo

Currently, the two formats supported by the --format option are:

• kitchen: the default, example: 9:16PM.
• 24h: 24-hour time format, example: 21:16.
