Create highly customizable countdown timer overlays with ease using Countdown Timer Pro, a completely free macOS app. It's the perfect tool for work sessions, focus sprints, event timing, or simply keeping track of time visually. EFFORTLESS CREATION Just click and drag the Countdown menu bar icon—the farther you drag, the longer the timer (Inspired by Gestimer). Release to instantly place a sleek timer overlay anywhere on your screen. FULL CONTROL & CUSTOMIZATION • Timer Control Menu: Hover over a timer to access quick actions—move, resize, adjust time (by dragging), pause/resume, open the Countdown Manager, or close the timer—all directly from the overlay. • Click-Through Overlays: On hover, timers become translucent and activate pass-through mode so you can interact with apps behind them without getting interrupted. • Countdown Manager: Manage all your timers from one central hub. Set exact start and end dates, create recurring timers (daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals), and fine-tune every detail. CUSTOMIZE THE LOOK • Flexible Time Display: Choose from 7 time units (seconds to years) or display time as a percentage. The app automatically selects the most readable unit based on the remaining time. You can optionally hide the seconds portion in hours and minutes formats for a cleaner display. • Visual Options: Personalize each timer with custom fonts, background styles, opacity, and progress ring settings like thickness, shadow, and track color. • Color & Themes: Apply solid colors or create angular gradients with up to three colors. Save your designs as reusable color themes for consistency across timers. ADVANCED FEATURES • Timer Sounds: Choose from 12 sound alerts that can play when a timer ends or when a scheduled timer begins. • Sound Volume Control: Adjust the volume for timer sounds directly in the countdown manager. • Automatically close or delete timers when they finish. • Automatically open an app, file, or website when a timer ends. • Start-Time Visibility: Optionally keep timers hidden until their start time. • Custom Notifications: Set alerts for when a timer finishes. • Window Behavior: Choose how timers behave—keep them always on top, act like standard windows, or go borderless for full placement freedom. • Default Configuration: Define default settings for new timers, so your preferred style and behavior are applied automatically. • Other Options: Reverse progress direction, hide the Dock icon, enable hover-to-open timer control menu, and more. FOR POWER USERS Speed things up with custom keyboard shortcuts tied to overlay actions. If you want a distraction-free look, you can even hide the Timer Control Menu entirely and use only shortcuts when hovering. --- Whether you’re managing deadlines, counting down to a big event, or just want a visual reminder of passing time, Countdown Timer Pro gives you the flexibility and control to make timers fit your workflow.

The toothbrush rule states the most valuable products are things people will use at least twice a day every day, and this timer is exactly that. This is the ultimate tool for ADHD or getting into deep flow. The best feature which is turned off by default is the ability to overlay the timer even over fullscreen windows. The close second is when you are setting the timer duration, it also tells you what time it will go off at so you don’t have to do the mental math. This is everything I’ve wanted, and it’s free.

EDIT. Yes now I see! Everything works! Thank you very much for the answer! Hello! Thank you for the great product.1. Please make it possible to customize timer AS DEFAULT! Not for every launch separately.. I make timer blue and small size with small transparecy. When I start new timer through menu bar it is again big, orange and high contrast! No way..2. Please, make existing timer which is up (time up) to be launched again. Not through adding the time, but with button to lauch it again. So there wouldn't be a need to create it again. Thank you!

Developer Response
Hi, both of these features already exist in the app. You can set any timer configuration as the default by selecting “Use as default configuration” in the countdown manager. Every new timer will then use that setup. To restart a timer that has finished, you can right-click the add/subtract time button on the overlay, use the “Restart” button in the countdown manager, or turn on “Repeat automatically” with an optional custom delay. Let me know through the support site if you need help finding these features!

Every option I looked for was there. You can really customize this timer app. Thank you for making this. I use it to make sure I work X hours per day - no more and no less - pausing the timer periodically for breaks.

I love the app but is there a way to change the default color?

Developer Response
Thank you for the great review! You can change the default color by scrolling to the bottom of the timer configuration options and enabling “Use as default configuration.” This will make all new timers use your chosen settings, including the color. I’ll work on making this option easier to find in the future. Thanks again for your support!

• Memory optimizations and overall stability improvements • Added notification actions to restart or delete a timer • Default timer placement now avoids the Dock area (can be disabled in settings) • Improved countdown manager window behavior • New option to control whether the countdown manager opens at launch • Improved progress animation sequencing
