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.
Use either pipx (recommended) or pip.
pipx install git+https://github.com/jahinzee/benzi.git Dependency Note: The
playsoundproject looks to be unmaintained, and uses the deprecatedsetup.pyinstallation method. This app uses this fork by taconi, which uses the supported pyproject.toml method.
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
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 &
