Package Information

Descriptionset and manage timers in Emacs using a convenient notation

TMR is an Emacs package that provides an elegant interface for setting and managing timers using a convenient notation. The most simple of these is M-x tmr RET, 30 (or any real number) RET, which executes a 30min timer. Seconds and hours are of course also supported. This is a full-featured timer management extension, and it has its own (optional) mode-line, and its own (optional) major mode which provides a top-down tabulated view of all timers. M-x tmr is one of the fastest ways to set a timer.

Timers may be created with or later annotated with corresponding descriptions, and these descriptions become part of the desktop notification that will be forwarded to the messaging system of GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, etc. In other words, by default, TMR integrates with the Linux desktop and one will receive notifications even when Emacs is in the background. When sound-theme-freedesktop is installed, a familiar alarm will play whenever a timer completes.

Backronyms: TMR May Ring; Timer Must Run.
