CLI Pomodoro for Mac

.zshrc

# I'll be doing another one for Linux, but this one will give you 
# a pop up notification and sound alert (using the built-in sounds for macOS)

# Requires https://github.com/caarlos0/timer to be installed

# Mac setup for pomo
alias work="timer 60m && terminal-notifier -message 'Pomodoro'\
        -title 'Work Timer is up! Take a Break 😊'\
        -appIcon '~/Pictures/pumpkin.png'\
        -sound Crystal"
        
alias rest="timer 10m && terminal-notifier -message 'Pomodoro'\
        -title 'Break is over! Get back to work 😬'\
        -appIcon '~/Pictures/pumpkin.png'\
        -sound Crystal"

You don't need to install terminal-notifier if you don't want to. You can trigger notifications on osx with applescript

osascript -e 'display notification "☕" with title "Work Timer is up!" subtitle "Take a Break 😊" sound name "Crystal"'

but how would i combine this with the alias, cause then there are 3 layers of strings?

ok you would have to escape it like this: " -> so in the rc-file it would look like this:

alias work="timer 50m && osascript -e 'display notification \"☕\" with title \"Work Timer is up!\" subtitle \"Take a Break 😊\" sound name \"Crystal\"'"

i've been playing around and attempting to add a time input, but it doesnt recognize an argument. I've looked over my other alias and have no issues with adding an argument.

alias work="timer $1 && osascript -e 'display notification \"☕\" with title \"Work Timer is up!\" subtitle \"Take a Break 😊\" sound name \"Crystal\"' && say \"Phase complete\""

alias work='work_alias(){ timer "$1" && osascript -e "display notification \"☕\" with title \"Work Timer is up!\" subtitle \"Take a Break 😊\" sound name \"Crystal\"" && say "Phase complete"; unset -f work_alias; }; work_alias'

this works for me
