benzi

A cross-platform utility that sends you a desktop notification on the hour, every hour. Might be useful if you have a hard time keeping track of... time.

Installation

Use either pipx (recommended) or pip.

pipx install git+https://github.com/jahinzee/benzi.git

Dependency Note: The playsound project looks to be unmaintained, and uses the deprecated setup.py installation method. This app uses this fork by taconi, which uses the supported pyproject.toml method.

Usage

usage: __init__.py [-h] [-s SOUND] [-t]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SOUND, --sound SOUND
                        specify a sound file to play on the hour
  -t, --test            send a test notification on launch and exit

Running async

The app, by itself, runs synchronously, meaning you will need to run it in the background if you don't want a Python console window sitting around.

On Linux and macOS, you can use nohup to run asynchronously from the terminal session.

nohup benzi &   # place any arguments before the &
