## What it is
A terminal-based countdown timer written in Go that displays a live timer in the terminal. It supports durations in Go time format or target clock times, with optional voice announcements and command chaining.

## Use cases
- count down a timer in the terminal
- run a command after a countdown finishes
- get a spoken warning when time is running out
- set a pomodoro-style timer from the command line
- count up from zero in the terminal

## When to choose
- you want a quick terminal timer without leaving the shell
- you need to chain a command to run when the timer expires
- you want pause/resume control with keyboard shortcuts

## When to avoid
- you need background or persistent timers that survive terminal closure
- you need reminders or alarms with notifications outside the terminal
