arttime is a terminal CLI application that combines curated ASCII/ANSI text art with a feature-rich clock, timer, and pattern-based time manager. It supports multiple timers, repeating time patterns (e.g., Pomodoro), native notifications/sounds, and can be fed keystrokes from files or pipes to display dynamic information.

Use cases

• set countdown timers in the terminal
• run a pomodoro timer from the command line
• display ascii art in my terminal
• get desktop notifications for repeating time patterns
• show a clock with text art in the console
• feed live data like system metrics into a terminal display
• schedule recurring reminders from the shell

When to choose

• you want a terminal-native timer or alarm with visual flair
• you need flexible pattern-based time management beyond simple pomodoro
• you want to pipe external data into an animated terminal display
• you work on macOS, Linux, BSD, or WSL and value Unix-philosophy tools

When to avoid

• you need a GUI clock or calendar application
• you require a full-featured calendar or project scheduling system
• you need a cross-platform GUI with native Windows support outside WSL
