fitimer

A timer to keep fit and healthy whilst having a sedentary work.

Simplicity

You are either working or taking a break. So we have those two states in the real world. I used to use pomodoro timers for this, but this is simpler and has a nicer interface for me.

How to install

bash $ cargo install fitimer

Features

• desktop notifications
• customizable colors

Configuration

Fitimer is configurable through a json file, here is the default config located at ~/.config/fitimer/config.json:

• Default colors use the gruvbox color pallete.
• Durations are in minutes
• tick rate (in milliseconds) means how frequent the app should get re-rendered (increase this to reduce CPU load)

json { "tick_rate": 1000, "durations": { "work": 25, "rest": 5 }, "color": { "black": "#282828", "white": "#fbf1c7", "gray": "#928374", "yellow": "#d79921", "green": "#98971a", "red": "#cc241d", "blue": "#458588", "purple": "#b16286", "aqua": "#689d6a", "orange": "#d65d0e" } }

Stats

There is a file located at ~/.cache/fitimer/fitimer.log which logs how much time was spent for each type of activity. This file is used to draw the graph, if it grows too large at any point, you can safely delete it.
