git clone https://github.com/Exios66/python-session-timer.git cd python-session-timer Install Dependencies Use pip to install the required Python packages: pip install -r requirements.txt Alternatively, install them individually: pip install plyer simpleaudio Prepare a Sound File Ensure you have a sound file (e.g., alarm.wav) in the project directory or specify the path to your preferred sound file when running the script. 📝 Usage Run the timer with default settings: python timer.py Customize Timer Settings You can customize the timer using command-line arguments: python timer.py -w 50 -b 10 -c 2 -s bell.wav -m "Work session over!" --title "Break Time" Command-Line Options Option Description Default -w, --work-duration Work duration in minutes 25 minutes -b, --break-duration Break duration in minutes 5 minutes -c, --cycles Number of work-break cycles 4 cycles -s, --sound Path to the sound file to play when timer ends alarm.wav -m, --message Notification message when timer ends Time is up! --title Notification title Timer Alert Example Usage python timer.py -w 45 -b 15 -c 3 -s notification.wav -m "Time for a break!" --title "Work Session Complete" 📜 Script Overview ```python #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Customizable Timer Script  This script implements a customizable timer similar to a Pomodoro timer. It allows setting custom work and break durations, number of cycles, and plays a sound and displays a notification when the timer ends.
