GitHub - treyhunner/countdown-cli: Full-screen countdown timer, centered in the terminal window

by Trey Hunner on 15-05-2025 08:01

This Python package by Trey Hunner can be used from the command line to display a basic countdown timer in the terminal window. Installing it with uv tool install countdown-cli, I got the countdown command that I can run with countdown 50s, or countdown 5m, or countdown 3m30s:
