reminders

A periodical reminder program using desktop notifications

Requirements

• rust
• libnotify
• A desktop notification server

Installation

From crates.io:

bash cargo install reminders

From source, build:

cargo build --release

Then copy the binary target/release/reminders to a place available in your $PATH variable.

Usage

Before the first use you should edit the ExecStart line in the reminders.service file provided in this repository.

ExecStart=/home/tesla/Projects/notifications_rs/target/debug/reminders -m MESSAGE -p 300

Change the MESSAGE with whatever message you want your reminder to show, as well the 300 to the reminder period you want, given in seconds.

Afterwards you should install/start the reminders.service systemd unit, so that the process actually keeps running in the background.

TODO

• Configuration file
• Add AUR package
• Handle systemctl stop.
• Expose more notification options
