MenuTimer is a 1-Click Timer. It's minimal, yet powerful. It does one thing and does it perfectly without any confusing bells and whistles.
It stays in your Mac's menu bar and shows you the remaining time there. No extra clutter.
You can pick from a variety of default timers. Or you can create your own custom timer. It remembers your custom timers and you can edit them.
It remembers your last set timer and you can right-click the menu bar button to Start/Pause.
Upon completion, it plays an alarm sound. You can change its volume, mute it, and loop it.
You can enter a Shortcuts URL or a web URL to launch when timer starts OR finishes.
You can make the timer auto restart upon finish.
The app supports the URL scheme "menutimer". For example, a new timer for 180 seconds can be started by calling the URL: menutimer://start?seconds=180
Following url schemes are also supported to pause, resume, stop, and restart the timer:
menutimer://start?seconds=180
menutimer://pause
menutimer://stop
menutimer://restart
menutimer://resume
You can create keyboard shortcut to start timer using such URLs:
Create a new Apple Shortcut and add an Open URL action. Go to Info tab.
Turn on “Use as Quick Action”. Set the "receive input" from Quick Action to No and "If there's no input" to Continue.
Make sure following are ON: Use as Quick Action, Finder, and Services Menu.
At the bottom: turn on “Add Keyboard Shortcut”. Then press the keys you want (e.g. ⌃⌘T). Make sure this keyboard shortcut doesn't conflict with another app.
I've been using this personally to remember to stand up and help my lower back recover. Otherwise, it gets sore from sitting all day and affects my workouts. I set a 25 minute timer and start working. After 25 min, I take a short break to stand up, walk around, drink water. Then I right-click the timer to restart for another 25 minutes. I keep doing this until my work gets done. I have the "Loop alarm sound" switched off and have reduced the volume to be subtle. Hope this helps others.
Developed by a solo independent developer.
Free version allows timers up to 5 minutes. A small one-time only in-app purchase lets you set timers over 5 minutes and set custom timers. It also helps me pay for development costs.
There are NO subscriptions, ads, trackers, analytics or other nonsense in my app. This allows me to provide the absolute best user-experience to my users. If you find my app useful, please leave me a positive rating on the App Store as that helps me get the word out to others. Thank you for your support!

Won’t let me buy pro

Loved the app. I tried a bunch this was perfect. But I had to delete the app because it will not let me go over 5 minutes without buying pro. I tried buying it, but it would glitch and would not let me. Please fix this.
Developer Response
The recent update to the app fixes that glitch. Can you try now? Email me if you have problems.
Simple and Easy

The app does what it is supposed to do. It's and easy count down timer with no frills. 2 clicks and your timer runs. I think I would like 1 more options to automatically repeat the timer without having to do anything, but I will give it 5 stars because it does exactly what it says it will do.
Developer Response
The latest update has added this feature as requested. Feel free to email me any other feedback :)
What’s the price?

When I tried to set a timer for 10 minutes I was presented with a pop-up window that read: “A small one-time only in-app purchase lets you set timers over 5 minutes and set custom timers. It also helps me pay for development costs.” Of course that is fair, but nowhere in the purchasing process does it say how much that small one-time purchase actually is. I’m not clicking the buy button unless I know how much I’m paying!
Developer Response
You can check the price on the App Store page. The price varies based on currency conversion rate, so it's best to check it on the App Store page in the "in app purchase" section. Also, even in the app, it will show you the price before you have to click the buy button. Please email me at pran@pranapps.com if you have questions.
Pretty comfortable to see countdown at the top!

No need for other devices to set comfortable timer and check for important meetings or plan activity. This timer really helps to track on time. The main key feature is - you do everything fast. Just two clicks. Thanks for the produuct!
