A shell script meditation timer for macOS. The script should also work on Linux with only minimal changes (just replace afplay with whatever command-line mp3 player you have on your system).
To begin a session simply run the script along with the number of minutes you wish to practice for. For example, to start a 30 minute session:
zen.sh 30
If you don't specify how long the session should be, the default length of 60 minutes will be used.
The script shows a progress bar, and will play a bell every 10 minutes. At the end of the session a different bell will sound.
To turn off the interval bell, change the line
PLAY_INTERVAL_BELL=true
to
PLAY_INTERVAL_BELL=false
The script records how long you have practiced for, and will display your current total at the end of each session.
If you need to finish a session early press Ctrl+C, your time will still be recorded.
