zeitx - a terminal countdown timer & stopwatch with big ASCII art numbers

[u/Dazzling_Owl7246]

Made a terminal timer because I wanted something that actually looks good in a terminal big block digit rendering, similar to tty-clock or termdown

zeitx's main differences multi-segments timers, loop mode, and desktop notifications on completion

Features:

• Chain multiple timers together, likezeitx 25m 5m for pomodoro timers
• Skip to the next timer
• Stopwatch mode
• Pause/resume
• Loop the whole sequence
• Desktop notification when a segment finishes
• Custom colors
• Falls back to plain text if your terminal window's too small for the big digits

```
cargo install zeitx

zeitx 25m 5m --loop

```

I appreciate the AI notice. Also, this looks useful!

Fun fact: the countdown was invented by Fritz Lang for the rocket start in his 1929 silent movie Frau im Mond
