kitchen timer == countdown timer ( I assume is what the OP is actually asking... )

Like these depending on desktop, gnome-clocks, teatime or kteatime if running kde.

It's single file shell script. Download and make it executable and put it somewhere in your path. Eg /usr/local/bin/

Should I click it green button labelled Code and then click download zip? To make it executable do I use:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i <package>

No. It is not a deb package. Please, please, please read something to teach yourself the very basics of using linux.

Read the script to see what it actually does. Then you can determine if it is safe.

And that is completely unrelated to the topic in this thread.

It also opens up a huge can of worms, nicely illustrated by the 91 threads you started here on LQ: in each and every one of them you ignored advice given, esp. the advice to actually read some documentation & think before doing things, or posting about them.

Why are you using Parrot without security tools? Why not use straight Debian instead?

In my kitchen I sometimes use an "egg timer." It's a purely-mechanical fifteen minute timer that looks like a wooden egg. Found it at a flea market nearly 25 years ago.
