mac command line utility to limit the amount of time an executable can be kept open. it's mac-only just because of the alerts that use applescript
main idea is that after x minutes of working on something your productivity decreases a lot if you don't take a break
this utility automatically closes any application after the amount of time you specified
give exec permission to build/build
and run it
it will install all the necessary config in /usr/local/etc/timely
and the executable in /usr/local/bin/timely
timely add [executable]
- adds executable to list of restricted apps
timely remove [full path to executable]
- removes all restrictions for the given app
timely list
- get full path of all restricted apps
timely set {time | extra} [value]
- change preferences
timely preferences
- view current config values
config file is /usr/local/etc/timely/.preferences
-
time - the amount of minutes the app will be kept open
-
extra - the amount of minutes the app will be kept open after you were notified that it'll close soon
-
timely set (time | extra) value
- change settings by commands - keep a list of currently running timelies
- check the time remaining of a particular timely
- gui ??? maybe not
adding an executable by providing a full path usually doesn't work
