Sound Timer

Plays a voice notification every 1, 5, 15, 30, 60 minutes and every 4 hours. It follows the clock, so notifications happen at the next matching time—like 14:15, 14:30, or 16:00—depending on the interval you choose. Uses your system’s timezone or one you set. A simple Bash script for Linux.

Usage scenarios

• In day trading, if you want to be notified every time a new candle/bar is confirmed in the most commonly used timeframes.
• When you want to set up a workout routine with a specific duration and receive voice notifications.
