Timers & Chronos

Inspired by Snaz, the Timers tab includes three independent time trackers that continue running accurately inside the headless background daemon even after the GUI is closed.


1. Countdown (Countdown.txt)

Counts down live to a specific target Year / Month / Day and Hour / Minute / Second (with quick preset buttons for +15 min, +1 hour, and Today 20:00).

Format Codes

  • $d: Days remaining (if $d is omitted, total remaining hours are placed in $h)
  • $h: Hours
  • $m: Minutes
  • $s: Seconds
  • Zero-pad option: Toggle between 01:05:09 and 1:5:9.
  • Text when finished: Message written once the target date/time is reached (e.g., Stream is live!).

2. Chrono Down (ChronoDown.txt)

A break or event countdown timer starting from a configurable Hours / Minutes / Seconds duration, controlled directly via Start, Pause, and Reset buttons over IPC.

  • Format codes: $h, $m, $s (plus $d if greater than 24 hours).
  • Automatically stops at 0 and displays your Text when finished message.

3. Chrono Up (ChronoUp.txt)

A stopwatch counting upward from 00:00:00 or a configurable starting offset (Start / Pause / Reset).

Format Codes

  • $d: Days
  • $h: Hours
  • $m: Minutes
  • $s: Seconds
  • $totalminutes: Total elapsed minutes (for example, 1:15:35 outputs 75 for $totalminutes)

Example Formats

  • $h:$m:$s -> 01:15:35
  • $totalminutes:$s -> 75:35
  • $d days and $h:$m:$s -> 2 days and 10:15:35
