Multiple simultaneous countdown / countup timers
Chronos provides multiple countdown / countup timers, shown sorted by expiry time in a special buffer *chronos*. Expiry Elapsed To go Message [17:02] --now-- [17:07] 9 4:51 Coffee In this example, the time 'now' is 17:02. A five minute countdown timer was set up 9 seconds ago. It is expected to expire in 4 minutes 51 seconds at 17:07. Installation Put this file somewhere Emacs can find it and (require 'chronos). `M-x chronos-add-timer' will start chronos and prompt you to add a timer. When prompted for the time, enter an integer number of minutes for the timer to count down from. When prompted for the message, enter a short description of the timer for display and notification. you can fill in the `chronos-standard-timers' variable to use the `chronos-select-timer' command to quickly select a chrono. ex: (setq chronos-standard-timers '("Green Tea (Short) 2/Green Tea: Remove tea bag" "Green Tea (Medium) 0:2:30/Green Tea: Remove tea bag" "Green Tea (Long) 3/Green Tea: Remove tea bag" "Black Tea (Medium) 4/Black Tea: Remove tea bag" "Black Tea (Long) 5/Black Tea: Remove tea bag" "Herbal Tea 10/Herbal Tea: Remove tea bag" "Timebox 25/Finish and Reflect + 5/Back to it" "Break 30/Back to it" "Charge Phone 30/Unplug Phone" "Charge Tablet 60/Unplug Tablet" "Charge Headphones 15/Unplug Headphones" "Charge Battery 120/Unplug Battery" "Class: Very Short 1/End" "Class: Short 5/End" "Class: Medium 10/End" "Class: Long 15/End")) For more details, including more sophisticated time specifications and notification options, see the info manual or website.
