+# Work Timer
+
+A Cinnamon desklet for tracking your work session with automatic reminders as time runs out.
+
+## Features
+
+- Countdown clock showing remaining work time (HH:MM or HH:MM:SS)
+- Progress bar that shrinks and changes colour as time runs out — green → amber → orange → red
+- Desktop notifications at fixed milestones: 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 5 min, 1 min remaining
+- Optional periodic reminders on a configurable interval
+- Optional sound alert on each reminder using built-in system sounds
+- Start, Pause, and Reset controls
+
+## Settings
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---|---|
+| Working hours | Length of your work session (1–16 hours) |
+| Reminder interval | How often to receive periodic reminders (5, 15, 30, or 60 min) |
+| Show seconds | Toggle seconds display on the clock |
+| Play sound on reminders | Enable or disable audio alerts |
+| Reminder sound | Choose from a set of built-in system sounds |
+
+## Installation
+
+Install via the Cinnamon Desklets manager (right-click desktop → Add Desklets), or manually:
+
+```bash
+cp -r files/worktimer@imanilchaudhari ~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/
+```
+
+Then reload Cinnamon (Alt+F2 → `r` → Enter) and add the desklet from the desklets manager.
