A countdown timer for the terminal with live progress
timer-cli runs countdowns in the terminal and keeps the end time, remaining time, and progress visible. Use the compact two-line display or switch to a fullscreen clock.
Start a timer with a short duration, combine several units, or use duration words:
$ timer-cli 10m
$ timer-cli 1h30m --title "Focus Session"
$ timer-cli 01:30:00
$ timer-cli 5 minutos --lang es
Choose the display and output that fit the job:
$ timer-cli 5m --fullscreen --controls
$ timer-cli 25m --loop
$ timer-cli 30s --json
While a timer is running, press Space to pause or resume, R to restart, + or - to adjust it by one minute, or Q to cancel. Completion alerts use the terminal bell and can be disabled or repeated.
The interface is available in English and Spanish. Duration words also work in Portuguese, French, German, Italian, and Dutch. Shell completion is available for Bash, Zsh, and Fish.
timer-cli runs in the foreground. It does not use a daemon, save timer history, access the network, collect telemetry, or execute commands.
