org-alert
Provides notifications for scheduled or deadlined agenda entries.
Command overview

with any of your DONE state keywords.

interval can be set by changing the org-alert-interval (defaults to
300s).

Installation
Via MELPA
Installing via melpa is a simple as:
package-install RET org-alert RET
Manually
Clone the repo somewhere you will remember and then add it to your load path.
(add-to-list 'load-path "path/to/org-alert")
(require 'org-alert)Configuration
org-alert uses the excellent
alert package from John Wiegley
to present its alerts. This defaults to using the emacs message
function for displaying notifications, to change it to something
prettier set the alert-default-style variable to one of the options
listed here.
To get system notifications like the screenshot use the following:
(setq alert-default-style 'libnotify)You can even define your own styles!
Custom titles
org-alert uses the title *org* by default. You can set this to
something else by changing the org-alert-notification-title
variable. Use this if you'd like to customise the display of org
notifications when using a daemon such as
dunst.
Custom regexp for searching agenda entries
org-alert searches for agenda entries with 'Sched' or 'Deadline' word
by default. You can set any other regexp you wish using
the org-alert-headline-regexp variable.
TODOs
