======
GTK tool to popup an alarm message and play a sound after a configurable time
Description
-----------
The main design goal was to create a *small* and *fast* starting CLI tool which
doesn't require any configuration. Instead you just start the tool with as **few
characters as possible**.
Installation
------------
See [INSTALL](INSTALL)
Usage
-----
popup after 5 minutes:
# ga 5
…with a message:
# ga 5m tea is ready
…at a fixed time:
# ga @12 dont forget the call
You can also pause/resume or cancel the alarms.

Dependencies
------------
- GTK+ 2.12 or higher
- GLIB 2.14 or higher
- [libnotify][libnotify] 0.3.2 or higher to trigger the notification popup
- Optional: [libcanberra][libcanberra] 0.10 or higher for the event sound
…and a running **notification-daemon** to show popups
On Ubuntu, the dependencies can be installed with
```
$ apt install build-essential pkg-config cmake libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev libcanberra-dev
```
TODOs
-----
### Options:
- stopall (stop ALL timers)
- pauseall (pause ALL timers)
- resumeall …
- recognize several running timers → collapse them
- -c (dont collapse) or something like this
- add option to specify popup-urgency
- when activating the tray icon show a countdown window
- Internationalisation
- 24h/12h format (configurable, dependent on locale)
- option to just count the time while beeing "online" so the time during
suspend-to-ram eg. isn't counted
- [avoid gettimeofday()][gettimeofday]
