Suppress notification if another notification is not yet closed

Mirko — Tue, 20 May 2014 08:44:19 -0000

I am using TeaTimer to remind me to sit upright every 7 minutes. The problem is, when I leave the room, a lot of notification windows open. It would be cool if there was an option to suppress the notification if an older one is still open.

Change Timer Set dialog

--- — Wed, 06 May 2009 15:47:49 -0000

I'd like to have an option to change the way the timer set dialog functions (the one that shows the timer title followed by "(Tea Timer)" and displays the duration, and when it will pop).

For me, it's too intrusive. If I'm using this several times a day (as I would like to), I'd not like to have that default error sound happen every time a timer starts and I also would like to not have to clear the dialog by pressing Ok. I might like to have an option to have *nothing* indicate that the timer had started, or maybe something much less intrusive like a tooltip / balloon on the system tray that just displays for a couple of seconds and then fades.

Is this possible? Am I missing some way to already do this?

Visual time lapse

It would much appreciated if the stopwatch, instead of just counting down the time, also had a progress bar of time lapse.

Refine Program to Run feature.

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 06:36:42 -0000

The ability to browse for programs to run under 'alarms'.
The ability to have multiple programs run by the alarm. This can be simulated by having a .bat script, but it is a pain to set up. It would be much easier if lists of programs to run could be set up for alarms.
Another cool feature would be programs to close. This would automatically close the specified program(s) that were opened. Automatically closing programs would be a great way to chill for 10 minutes playing a game or web surfing and then have the timer enforce this.

Make tea timer a portable app

Danny Staple — Thu, 01 May 2008 10:41:06 -0000

By this I do not mean multiplatform, but the ability to run directly off a USB drive in the portableapps.com suite of free tools.

This would mean modifying the installer to use NSI, and also the .NET framework dependency may have to be thought of as the target machines may not have it.

I will (time allowing) take a look at this feature myself.

Auto start and auto load previous timer choice

Anonymous — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 04:56:54 -0000

I like it to autostart.

I already put it in the startup folder but the previous timer choice isn't loaded which is not good.

.NET 2.0

Anonymous — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 18:34:13 -0000

I recently began using a new laptop with Windows Vista.

I am dependent upon Tea Timer to ensure that I don't sit too long at my computer.

Will Tea Timer run with .NET 2.0. I know I have .NET 2.0 installed. When I attempt to install, it tells me I need .NET 1.1.4332.

Thank you.

set a timer using a command line option

Burkhard — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 11:12:22 -0000

Hello,

TeaTimer is a nice program!!

I would like to have a command-line-option for TeaTimer so that it sets an alarm directly at startup.
Then I could add a link to Startmenu/Autostart with the command-line e.g.:
C:\Progra....\TeaTimer.exe /SetAlarm#6

My aim is that my children are limited to play 30 minutes with computer-games.
When they login the childsusername/StartMenu/Autostart-link should launch TeaTimer and give them an alarm after 30 minutes.
I could edit the Preset #6 to alarm after 30 minutes with the sound of their father's voice "Your time is over!".

There is the option to have the alarm "Repeating". Perhaps you could add the choice to repeat every 2 or 5 minutes.

Thanks, Burkhard

Stop Watch Required

Aub — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 09:15:33 -0000

It would be very useful to have a stop watch function as well as the countdown timer that exists.

I use the timer to set time limits to work tasks, but it would also be useful to time work tasks that I don't have a limit for but want to know how long they lasted.

Many thanks
Aub

Triggered timers

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 15:42:34 -0000

It would be nice to have one timer start up automatically after another ends.

For example:

Steep Tea for 5 mins -> let cup cool for 15 more minutes
