Time left ⏲

This is a simple countdown timer that can be used to track the time left until the end of the work day.

Usage

To use this timer, simply run the script and it will display the time left until the end of the work day.

time-left [options]

A systray icon will appear in your system tray. Click on it to see the time left until the end of the work day.

This script can be used to track the time left until the end of the work day. It shows the time left until the end of the work day in the system tray, and the end of the work day. It can be configured to start at a specific time and to last for a specific duration. It can also be configured to take a rest time. See Configuration for more information.

In addition, by clicking the "Rest" button, the script will add the rest time to the end of the work day. Use the "Reload" button to reload the configuration file and the "Quit" button to close the program.
