Timer Console

Timer Console is a lightweight C++ terminal application designed for Unix-based systems. It provides robust timekeeping functionality with support for:

Timers: Set countdowns that notify you when time is up.
Alarms: Schedule alerts for specific system times.
Stopwatch: Track elapsed time with start/stop/lap capabilities.

Architecture

Timer Console is built with modularity in mind, with each core feature separated into its own class:

Timer: Handles countdown logic and time formatting.
Alarm: Schedules alarms based on user-defined system times.
Stopwatch: Tracks elapsed time and supports lap features.

These classes are designed for clarity, testability, and future extensibility.

Features

Terminal-based interface
Clean and modular C++ codebase
Cross-feature state management
Uses only standard C++ libraries (no third-party dependencies)
Easily extensible for additional functionality

How to Use

Compile the application with your preferred C++ compiler:

g++ -std=c++17 -o timer_console main.cpp

./timer_console

Follow the in-terminal prompts to create timers, set alarms, or use the stopwatch.

Supported Platforms

Unix-based systems (Linux, macOS, BSD, etc.)
