Activity Timer 4+

Simple and easy to use. This is great for being able to just set a timer when I want to box my activities. I might set 20 mins to check email, then when the timer dings, if I get off track I can go back to email. I like how this gives a pop-up notification when it is finished.

Changes I would suggest are:
- being able reorder the preset timers, it is confusing if they aren't in order by time or name
- Put the application name in the popup when you click it in the menubar
- right click options to pause, start, stop, restart last used timer

I’ve been using Activity Timer for four years now, and even though I frequently try out lots of different apps and utilites to help streamline my productivity, Activity Timer is the one that has lasted the test of time. It’s simple, aesthetically pleasing, and sits right there in my menu bar. Plus, the pie chart is a perfect way to visualize how much time has elapsed. It’s been so helpful for time management during work sessions, and is a great way to stay focused and motivated.

Yes, it is just a timer app. But it’s a really good timer app. It’s simple, and does exactly what I need and want it to do. I will likely keep using this app as long as it exists.

Sometimes less is more — and this app is an excellent example.
Simple, intuitive, small and unobtrusive, Activity Timer is a great pared-down Pomodoro timer — anything timer, really. I love how it’s easy to set and organize different timed periods. It uses very few resources while being easy to customize. Many props to the dev.

Oops! Gotta go. There goes my timer...
