SmallTimer

SmallTimer is a timer app for your Mac that really focuses on keeping things simple and easy. If you're looking for something that won't get in your way but still grabs your attention, this might be the app for you!

Simple and Discreet Timer

The cool thing about SmallTimer is that it hangs out in the status bar. But heads up—if you're using the dark menu bar on OS X, you might not even notice it's there because of the icon's color.

Easy Access to Your Timer

Even though it’s a bit sneaky, you can easily click in that area to bring up its panel whenever you need to set a timer or check how much time is left until your big event.

No Distractions Here!

Now here’s the best part: SmallTimer doesn’t show the countdown in the status bar. This means you can keep track of time without feeling distracted by a ticking clock—it keeps things super chill while still letting you know what's going on.

Setting Your Timer

When you want to set a timer, just type in a number, and SmallTimer will think you're talking about minutes by default. Want more precision? You can use colons to mix hours, minutes, and seconds together!

Customize Your Alerts

Don’t forget to hop over to the SmallTimer Configuration panel. There, you can choose how you'd like to be notified when time’s up! It can dim your screen for a moment, open a file of your choice, or even read out some text.

Your Go-To Simple Timer App

In short, SmallTimer is an awesome little app for counting down to one specific event without being too flashy. It's perfect if you want something low-key yet effective. Plus, it has cool ways to alert you when time's up—whether that's speaking text or launching a document.
