Today, November 1, 2026, I reached another milestone in my software development work with Tenvocalix, a desktop clock and countdown timer application developed using C++ and Qt 6 on my Manjaro Linux ThinkPad T14. The application displays the current local time and allows users to start a 10-second countdown with a single button. When the countdown reaches zero, it is designed to display “ALARM,” produce five audible beeps, and automatically return to clock mode. I also incorporated a screenshot button that captures the application’s window and registers the image for review. During development, I successfully compiled and launched Tenvocalix, verified that its screenshot functionality worked, and independently compiled the exported source code to confirm that the necessary Qt resources were included.
Another important part of this project involved documenting and managing its development using J03Curator, infoartrecorder, and ScreenshotPublisher. These tools helped me organize the source code, review the screenshot, preserve project information, and prepare approved materials for publication. After completing the review process, I committed ten files to my public GitHub repository, including the C++ source code, Qt interface files, audio resource, documentation, and an approved application screenshot. The project demonstrates how a relatively simple desktop application can become an opportunity to practice software development, build verification, documentation, and responsible open-source publication. Tenvocalix v0.1.0 is currently available as development materials on GitHub rather than as a packaged application release. You can explore the Tenvocalix source code, view the application screenshot, or examine Git commit 216f7e0.
