👋 Introduction
A small macOS timer that rings and notifies you at a time you choose, and can run a command when it fires.
ding is a macOS alarm and timer for the terminal. Give it a duration or a clock time and it notifies you, rings, and optionally runs a command when the moment arrives. It was written to flag when a usage quota resets, but it suits anything you would otherwise set a phone timer for.
