A countdown timer that minimises to tray?

  • 772

I am looking for a countdown timer software that minimises to tray while running and thus hiding any active window.

I am very fond of Tea Time, however, it does not minimise to tray and keeps an active window while running.

Some potential ideas (thanks Rinzwind):

  • Add a countdown feature that sits in the panel and keeps counting down)
  • Optionally even residing in the launcher and having an icon go 10,9,8...,1,"beep" (that's actually what Tea Time does)

    Have a look at Alarm Clock. It is an alarm clock and a timer and minimise to tray.

    Installation: sudo apt install alarm-clock-applet

  2. I'm pretty sure that is not what the OP expects, but anyways I like it:

    The nerd solution

    nohup sleep 60 && notify-send Timer "Time up" && paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/complete.oga &

    I have to add a way to notify how much time is left ..
