📦 Installation

Mac and linux:

Easy option: go to the Releases tab and install the executable file called LSTimer and run it

Or (more complex, only for linux):

⚠️ Please install packages step-by-step with your correct package manager! If unsure, apt is likely your package manager (Debian/Ubuntu). Otherwise, search online.

# Install Git
sudo pacman -S git      # Arch Linux
sudo apt install git    # Debian/Ubuntu

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Link-the-Coder/LSTimer.git ~/LSTimer
cd LSTimer

# Install Cargo
sudo pacman -S cargo    # Arch Linux
sudo apt install cargo  # Debian/Ubuntu

# Run the app in release mode
cargo run --release

Windows

Go to the Releases tab and install the LSTimer.exe and run it

💡 Tip: For faster startup, run the compiled binary directly:

./target/release/LSTimer

---

🖥️ Optional: Create Desktop Shortcut

Open or create the desktop entry file:

nano ~/.local/share/applications/LSTimer.desktop

Paste this (replace /home/yourname with your actual username):

[Desktop Entry]
Name=LSTimer
Comment=Launch LSTimer Rust App
Exec=/home/yourname/LSTimer/LSTimer
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/home/yourname/LSTimer/icon.png

Save and exit. LSTimer should now appear in your app launcher.

🧠 Usage

• Space: Start / Stop timer
• Wait for green light before releasing Spacebar
• Scramble auto-refreshes for each event
• Escape (Esc): Exit app safely
• ⚠️ On exit, if the app appears unresponsive, click Terminate
