Commands

Note: if you do not receive notifications from the timer completion, you may need to allow Script Editor notifications in your Focus settings.

  • Start Timer (2, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minute variations)
  • Start Custom Timer (allows you to set a custom countdown and optionally save it for future use)
  • Manage Timers (view/rename/start/stop running or preset countdown timers)
  • Start Stopwatch
  • Manage Stopwatches (view/start/stop running stopwatches)
  • Dismiss Ringing Timer (stop a ringing alert for a finished timer, if you've checked the Ring Continously setting)
  • Preview Alert Sounds (test out the bundled timer alert sounds before selecting one in settings)
  • Stop Running Timer (stop the running timer closest to completion)

Not Yet Implemented

  • Set Alarm
  • Manage Alarms (view/start/stop running alarms)

Contributing

If you'd like to file an issue, make a feature request, or improve the code in this extension, feel free to open an issue or PR! Here are a few pieces of advice:

  • Please check my personal repo for this extension first as I may already be working on a fix, or there may already be an issue/PR for your idea ;) I am also more reachable there for PRs/issues.
  • If you decide to file an issue on the main raycast/extensions repo, please ping me (@ThatNerdSquared) so that I don't miss your request!
  • Feel free to reach out to me on the Raycast Slack (@ThatNerd(Squared)) if I have not responded to you in a timely manner.
  • src/hooks/useTimers.ts contains the custom React hook that I use for state management across various commands, and timerUtils.ts contains backend functions I use to create the actual timer files.
  • Custom timers are saved in a customTimers.json file as an array of CustomTimers, and running timers are stored as text files where the filename is [date and time started, with illegal characters replaced with __]---[length of timer in seconds] and the file content is a single line with the name of the timer.
  • If you submit changes, please update these contributing guidelines as necessary to prevent confusion :)
