termdown is a Python-based terminal countdown timer and stopwatch with large ASCII-art time display. It supports flexible time specifications, hotkeys, spoken announcements, and custom end-of-countdown actions.

Use cases

  • start a countdown timer in my terminal
  • use a stopwatch from the command line
  • count down to a specific datetime like a meeting
  • get a spoken or bell alert when time runs out
  • run a pomodoro-style timer in the shell
  • display remaining time in a terminal title or file

When to choose

  • you want a quick, scriptable timer without leaving the terminal
  • you need flexible time inputs like '1h 5m 30s' or absolute dates
  • you want voice announcements or custom commands triggered per second

When to avoid

  • you need a GUI timer with visual notifications
  • you need multi-timer management or persistent scheduling
