Ah, I misunderstood.
You want to know when you should stop running.
I suggested putting it as a daemon to signal when to START running.
A delay of 30 minutes would give you a beep twice an hour.

However if you are NOT at the computer - but running around - how could
the terminal app annoy you?
You are not there - except when you start it.
Does it not go away once your program is finished?
