WorkHourGlass - Enhance your efficiency by timing your work and breaks
Copyright 2015 Juliette Monsel <j_4321@hotmail.fr>
WorkHourGlass is a simple timer that allows you to manage easily your working time. It times your work and breaks, making a beep sound at the end of each so that you know you can take a break / return to your work. There is also a change of color between break time and work time.
The times, sound and colors are customizable.
Windows version
- Download WorkHourGlass-1.1.1-windows
- Unzip the archive
- If you want to use the default fonts for the software, you need to install the fonts included in the /fonts folder (just doubleclick on the font file, it should offer you to install it). If you dislike the font I used to display the time, just go to the settings to change it.
- Launch WorkHourGlass from the shortcut in the folder, it is a standalone software. The shortcut might not work. If it does not, create a new one from exe.win32-3.4WorkHourGlass.exe (do not move this file out of the folder, otherwise it will not work).
Souce code
Prerequisites
This software is based on Python 3 and Tkinter interface so you will need to have them installed to use it. To play the sound I use VLC in command line.
Windows users
Install Python 3: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ Install Pillow: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/
In both case, be careful to choose the python 3 versions (it won't work with python 2)
Linux users
Install with your package manager the following packages (names might slightly change according to the distribution):
Ubuntu/Debian: I you wish, you can launch install_debian-ubuntu to install automatically the needed dependencies and the software. Otherwise, you need to install:
- python3-tk
- python3-pil
- python3-pil.imagetk
- vlc
- Archlinux:
- tk
- python-pillow
- vlc
Getting started
Unpack the archive. If you want to use the default fonts for the software, you need to install the two fonts included in the /fonts folder.
In many Linux distributions, you just need to move the font files to ~/.fonts.
In Windows, just doubleclick on the font file, it should offer you to install it. The font I use to display the time does not look good on Windows, so feel free to find a better one (go to the settings to change it)
Now, you can launch WorkHourGlass.py. In Windows, you might need to select open with pythonw.exe (which is in the file C:Python3x).
In Linux, you can make WorkHourGlass.py executable or launch it with
$ python3 WorkHourGlass.py
