Alarm

Simple CLI alarm clock for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

An alarm daemon is started and runs in the background as soon as you set, list or remove alarms. This daemon runs a scheduler that triggers configured alarms.

Alarm database is stored in a file called .alarms in you home directory.

Build

Prerequisites:

If Debian/Ubuntu, run apt install libasound2-dev.
If FreeBSD, run pkg install openal-soft.

Run go get -u to install dependencies, then run go build or go install to create or install executable.

Usage

The alarm CLI supports setting alarms, listing active alarms and removing alarms from the list.

Setting alarms

Set a one-time alarm at 6:30 in 24h format:

$ alarm -s 6:30

12h format is also supported by adding an AM/PM postfix.

Set a daily alarm at 10:00 AM:

$ alarm -s 10:00AM -r daily

Recurrence can also be hourly.

List alarms

Listing active alarms can be done with:

$ alarm -l

This will return a list of active alarms with associated IDs which can be used to remove alarms.

Removing alarms

Remove an alarm by first listing and finding it's ID and then calling:

$ alarm -rm <ID>
