Sleeper

Contents

Overview

Sleeper is a widget for the Maemo desktop which allows your N900 to pause the music player (or the Panucci audiobook player) after a defined amount of time (e.g. 15 minutes). It's handy when listening to music while falling asleep.

New features in Sleeper 1.0 (not yet in Maemo Extras, see Sleeper in Maemo Extras):

  • Vertical or horizontal bar with configurable minute values
  • Optional widget icon for easy purpose recognition
  • Optional information banners (you know, the yellow ones)
