What's new

πŸͺŸ Windows support β€” the timer now runs natively on Windows.

  • New timerCLI_windows.py using the built-in Windows GetLastInputInfo API (session-wide keyboard/mouse idle detection)
  • New standalone TimerAppCLI-x86_64.exe β€” download, double-click, done
  • New timerCLI_windows.bat launcher (in the repo) for running the source script in an existing terminal
  • Docs updated (README / INSTALL / USAGE) with Windows instructions
  • The Linux AppImage is included here as well for convenience

Windows β€” quick start

  1. Download TimerAppCLI-x86_64.exe
  2. Double-click it β€” or run .\TimerAppCLI-x86_64.exe in an existing terminal
  3. No Python install, no admin rights, no setup. Ctrl+C to stop.

From source (Python 3.8+, standard library only): python timerCLI_windows.py

Linux β€” as before

Download TimerAppCLI-x86_64.AppImage, chmod +x, run. (Input-group setup still applies β€” see README/INSTALL.)

Unchanged

  • Linux behavior exactly as before
  • Same 30-second idle pause (adjust IDLE_LIMIT in source)

If this saves you some tracking time, a small sponsorship via GitHub Sponsors is greatly appreciated β€” it funds my cybersecurity studies. πŸ™
