As others have noted there's no need for this type of app to be complicated or bloated with features. At it's simplest level Chimoo Timer is a handy timer that doesn't get in the way. It's got some cool additional features that make it flexible enough for most needs too. Well worth the (optional) donation they request.

This is a nice, clean, useful application, deserving of donations for people that use it regularly.
I'd love to see a preference added so that you could start / pause the timer by pressing a key (such as the space bar), so that if I am timing a speech I can start / pause without having to hunt for the button with the mouse.

Wow. This is exactly what I was looking for for my stretching and yoga. Now I can totally concentrate on my exercises and not have to break pose to look at a watch. The voice activation is perfect!
Simple UI is perfect as well. No need for this kind of app to look fancy.
