Perfect except for missing keyboard shortcuts

It's exactly the kind of timer I need for staying efficient at work (turn on when working, turn off when not working). My only wish is that there was a way to set a keyboard shortcut to start/pause/stop the timer, rather than having to do it manually with the mouse!

Just What I Needed

I just started to use Tiny Stopwatch, so this does not reflect long-term experience. But it does what I need without lots of useless features cluttering up the app. I love having the app dock itself in the menu bar and display elapsed time unobtrusively. Be aware that the menu bar display does not show seconds (which is preferred since that might be distracting). So, it shows 00:00 until at least a minute has elapsed. You click the menu bar display to access the controls, which allows for start, pause, and stop. When you click Stop, your elapsed time and stop time are displayed in a list that also allows you to enter a description for that time segment. Good for keeping track of tasks and elapsed time. Useful if you bill clients for time spent. During use, the time and current status (running, paused, stopped) are conveniently displayed in the menu bar, freeing up screen space. At this writing, the app is also free, so it is one of the best deals I've found in the app store.

Thanks for your detailed feedback! A new update with seconds shown in the menu bar is now available. If you don't need that, it can be quickly disabled with a right-click on the menu bar item.

Almost Perfect Little App

Love almost everything about it — small, simple, unobtrusive menu bar location, clean, easy to use, reliable (so far). I've used many other timer apps before, even a chess timer physically sitting on my desk. Now it's all digital, all convenient, all instant with keyboard shortcut in the Pro version. And it's been almost a year since I discovered it.The only tiny improvement I can see is having maybe a preference to make the "running state" a bit more noticeable, like a red dot on/off or just different color for the numbers. Currently it requires staring at it for a few seconds to see if the numbers move. Nicer if on or off was a glance.

I use this tiny app almost every day to track time on task, and I love new options in the free version to hide the background in the menu bar, start with system, and change the time display type. Unfortunately, the update also broke the timer, which is a pretty important feature for a stopwatch. Multiple times today I have paused the timer and then restarted it after a break only to have the time on the timer instantly DOUBLE when I press the play button. Start the timer with 16 minutes on the clock, and it jumps straight to 32. Useless for billing time on task and very frustrating to see something perfect broken for aesthetic changes. Please fix!
