Summary

ct is a timer application that play sound and display dialogue (with unconfigurable text, for now) on completion. User can configure the timeout by providing 1st argument as a non-negative integer.

example: ct 5 - this will schedule timer to run for 5 seconds and then fire bundled alarm sound + show dialog

User can configure measurement unit (minutes or seconds) by providing 2nd argument (single character, either 'm' or 's'), though it is optional Default behavior: choose seconds.

example: ct 10 m - this will schedule timer to run for 10 minutes and then fire bundled alarm sound + show dialog

User can configure alert sound by providing 3rd argument as a system path, though it is optional. If user wants to provide alert sound path, they should provide 2nd argument. Default behavior: bundled alert sound will play.

example: ct 15 s ~/Music/alert.opus - this will schedule timer to run for 15 seconds and then play ~/Music/alert.opus + show dialog
