Tired of $ sleep 4231; beep? This is a very simple solution to help with short-term time management. The beep sound uses the motherboard audio, so it works even if your speakers are muted, but not if you muted the PC speakers 😛 . Furthermore, it works wherever there's a Linux terminal, and that includes ssh sessions.
- No dependencies other than Python itself 💫
- Install with
pipor just copy the binary somewhere in$PATH✨ - Python2 and Python3 compatible 🌟

$ pip install ding-ding
(ding was taken)
Alternatively, download the ding.py file and run it however you please.
$ ./ding.py in 1s
- You want to start work after browsing the news for a bit, but you don't want to get carried away and do no work. Set a timer for 15 minutes:
$ ding in 15m
- You need to leave at 17:00 and you want to have time to get ready:
$ ding at 16:45
$ alias pomo="ding in 25m"
$ pomo
# Relative time
$ ding in 2m
$ ding in 2h 15m
$ ding in 2m 15s
# Absolute time
$ ding at 12
$ ding at 17:30
$ ding at 17:30:21
This happens when the audible bell was muted for your terminal or for your system. Enabling it differs between environments, so I would suggest trying out some Google searches on how to enable it. For a discussion on this, check this issue.
