Tray Runner is a simple application that runs in the system tray and executes periodically the commands configured. This is util when you want to run command line scripts without having a terminal open ow worry to remember to execute them.
The application has been tested on Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows 10, but should run on any modern operating system, as the UI relies on QT.

Python 3.10 or greater is required.
It is recommended to use pipx so you can install Tray Runner and its dependencies without affecting other applications installed with pip:
pipx install tray-runnerCheck and upgrade with:
pipx upgrade tray-runnerIn a near future, single file binaries will be provided.
Once installed, you can run the application running the command:
tray-runner-guiCheck the options running tray-runner-gui --help. The first time the program is executed, a shortcut in the applications menu and in the auto start directory will be created. Also, you will be asked to configure the application:
sudo dnf install -y gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
