Tiny CLI exercise timer for filling those moments while you wait for a long-running task (a build, a test suite, an AI agent…). Lap-based, with arrow-key history and pause.
npm install -g exercise-timerThis puts extimer on your PATH.
extimerYou'll be prompted for:
- Exercise — name (
pushups,squats, …) - Laps — how many rounds
- Lap duration — seconds per round
- Rest between laps — seconds (use
0for no rest)
Press Enter to accept the default shown in [brackets]. Press ↑/↓ to cycle through past values. Press Enter on the confirm screen to start.
During the timer:
- Space pauses and resumes. Pause time doesn't count against the lap.
- Ctrl+C aborts.
When all laps finish, you get a Done banner and the session is appended to history at ~/.config/exercise-timer/history.json (last 100 runs).
npm uninstall -g exercise-timerMIT
