timeswitch's Issues

Improve headerbar and save window state

While the headerbar looks good with default GNOME settings for window controls (:close), having different window controls setup can cause timer mode dropdown to move off center or even increase the window width to get enough space. This is not critical, the app is completely useful, but this doesn't look good.
I think that the best solution will be to move dropdown to the end of headerbar instead of center, increase default window width (not minimal, but default) to make it look good at least for EN locale and :minimize,maximize,close controls, and also save window size so a user can resize the window how they want and this will be remembered.

Can it run at the background ?

Hello,

Can the program schedule a shutdown in the background, then quit the program and the shutdown still happens at the pre-selected time ?

Thanks

[Feature] Send TimeSwitch to system tray when closing the app with active timer

Hey!

What do you think of sending the app to the system tray after we start a timer and close the app, so that it gives visual confirmation that a timer is running? Similar to when we set an alarm on mobile phones and an alarm clock icon shows up in the top bar so we are aware that an alarm is set.

This system tray menu could even contain some labels and options such as:

• A label containing Action type of the active timer + time remaining countdown (examples: "Power off in 5:37"; "Run Command in 0:23"; "Notification in 1:45")
• An option to stop/cancel the timer

And the app could stay there in the system tray until the timer rings or when we press "Stop". Then it disappears from the system tray.

You could use dbus-python instead of os.system for dbuss class

This is not a bug, I am just pointing it out

Translations on Weblate

Feb 4th will be 3 month since the first release of Time Switch, I will be able to setup a project on Weblate.

GNOME HIG icon

I want to offer a new icon following GNOME HIG. The emoji from the description is taken as a basis ⏲️

Set clock time instead of countdown

It will be useful in case you want to run actions at the same time of a day.

[Feature] Save last used Action settings

Hi, great app!

It would be really handy if the app saved the last action settings I've selected. I often use the "Notification" action with "Sound" on, but, by default, "Power Off" is selected and "Sound" is off, so I have to set it up again every time.

Standalone binary or appimage ?

App is great, thanks for that , please provide easy to use binary or appimage , thanks.

Application displays nothing

When starting timeswitch it only displays a round blob with no UI, no window controls and nothing else.

This happens on Fedora 37 Workstation and GNOME OS in a virtual machine.

Multiple reminders

Hello!

Thanks for this simple but very helpful app!

Would it be possible to support multiple parallel countdowns?

I understand this will require significant changes in the user interface. Not sure if it helps, but Alarm and Timer view from Gnome Clock can be taken as an inspiration.

Or maybe an Android 12 alarm view (details accessible from the list view, no secondary window opened for details):

[Feature] Press Enter in the Spin buttons to Start timer

Hi!

Idea: be able to also Start the timer by pressing the "Enter" key when the cursor is focused in one of the hour/minute/second Spin buttons.

Make the app easy to use with only keyboard

I want to provide keyboard shortcuts to easily access most of UI elements in the app. Probably something like this:

• Ctrl+W - close window (if timer is running, this will only hide the window)
• Ctrl+Q - quit (if timer is running, a dialog will appear to confirm stopping the timer and quit)
• Ctrl+? - shortcuts dialog

Setup

• Alt+H, Alt+M, Alt+S - focus hours/minutes/seconds spin
• Alt+R - reset
• Ctrl+M - change mode
• Ctrl+Enter - start timer

Actions

• Ctrl+O - power off
• Ctrl+R - reboot
• Ctrl+S - suspend
• Ctrl+N - notification, text entry gets focused
• Ctrl+B - play sound
• Ctrl+U - until stopped
• Ctrl+C - commands

Commands

• Ctrl+1..0 - select command 1..10
• Ctrl+A - add command
• Ctrl+D - remove selected command
• Ctrl+Backspace, Esc - back

Running

• Ctrl+P - toggle pause
• Ctrl+S - stop

About button will be replaced with menu button, the menu will contain "Keyboard shortcuts", "About" and "Quit" (same as Ctrl+Q shortcut).

Add ability to pause timer

[Feature] Ability to Save & Load Presets

Hi again!

First of all, I just want to say thank you for making such an excellent app! Great job! I've been using it everyday.

Now, I just had an idea:
What do you think of adding a presets option? That way we can save timers we use often, making it even quicker to use the app.
I usually use the same settings for different timers throughout the day. Cooking, for example, certain recipes take the same amount time to cook, so being able to save a preset for "beans", "rice", etc. would make save some time.

Be able to create and add them to categories — like "Recipes", "Maintenance", etc. — would make it even nicer.

Example:

bash commands execute on a timer

Hi. thanks for the great app. Is it possible in the future to make arbitrary bash commands execute on a timer?

[Feature] Continue timer after restarting the system

Hi!

Suggestion:
Make timer continue after restarting the system.

Right now, if I restart the system, the timer is lost.

Idea on how it could work (maybe there's a better or proper way):

1. When timer starts, add command to the Startup folder to launch the app with a flag to start "minimized";
2. Constantly save a snapshot of the current time into a log;
3. On system startup, remove command to launch the app from the Startup folder; and take current time and calculate how much time has passed since last time saved to the log;
4. If there is still time left, continue timer as usual; else: ring the timer

[Feature] Keep playing notification sound until dismissed, like an alarm

Hi!

Idea: Keep playing the notification sound, perhaps every second, until the notification is dismissed, like an alarm.

Allow execution of multiple commands

If you want to run several commands after a countdown, the only way to do that right now is to make a bash script and then run that. It would be nice if you could just enter & select the commands you want to run.

I guess you could use ; to put several commands in a single line, but that's not as organized.
