Play Timer

Timer app pretending to be a media player.

Ultimately, serves the only purpose — to start a timer quickly and efficiently.
Notifications included! Utilizing GTK4, Adwaita and MPRIS interface.

Installation

flatpak install flathub io.github.efogdev.mpris-timer

...or install play-timer from AUR if you are a fellow arch-based distro enjoyer.

Demo

Play Timer aims to be as keyboard friendly as possible.
Use navigation keys (arrows, tab, shift+tab, space, enter) or start inputting numbers right away.

CLI use

-ui
	Show timepicker UI (default true)
-start int
	Start the timer immediately, don't show UI (value in seconds)
-title string
	Name/title of the timer (default "Timer")
-text string
	Notification text (default "Time is up!")
-color string
	Progress color (#HEX) for the player, use "default" to use accent color (default "default")
-lowfps
	Low fps (~3 for KDE, ~15 for GNOME). On Plasma, FPS > 6 causes flickering in the media player widget. Some may experience this even with FPS <= 6 
-notify
	Send desktop notification (default true)
-rounded
	Rounded corners (default true)
-shadow
	Shadow for progress image
-silence int
	Play this milliseconds of silence before the actual sound — might be helpful for audio devices that wake up not immediately
-sound
	Play sound (default true)
-volume float
	Volume [0-1] (default 1)

Examples

# show UI for a red "Oven" timer
flatpak run io.github.efogdev.mpris-timer -title Oven -color "#FF4200"  

# start a 120s "Tea" timer immediately
flatpak run io.github.efogdev.mpris-timer -title Tea -rounded=0 -sound=0 -start 120
