history

Project history and usage

Countdown is a small Go terminal countdown timer distributed as a command-line utility.

Project history

The public repository was created in 2019 and describes a focused CLI for countdowns, target times, count-up mode, titles, pausing, and optional macOS speech announcements.

Adoption history

The official install instructions name Homebrew, `go install`, and prebuilt GitHub release binaries, which is the typical distribution mix for a compact Go CLI.

How it is used

Users invoke `countdown` with a Go-style duration or a target time, optionally chaining a shell command after completion.

Why package nerds care

Its packaging is intentionally simple: one executable, no documented config file, and release artifacts suitable for Homebrew-style formula maintenance.

Timeline

2019: Public GitHub repository created and 1.0.0 release published.
2023: 1.5.0 release published.
