Product Description:

Chimoo Timer is a simple timer originally written to keep track of time when working at home (although it can also be used for other purposes).

Features
  • Free!
  • Speech Recognition (for Start, Stop, Reset, "current value", and "disable speech recognition").
  • Speech support for counting seconds, speaking alerts.
  • "Tick" sound on seconds.
  • Count up and count down modes.
  • Floating mini window mode takes up less space.
  • Low CPU usage (esp. when in background or hidden).
  • Written with Cocoa - native to Mac OS X.
  • Dock menu to start/stop/reset timer.
  • Multiplier view for counting elapsed frames.
  • Detachable controller.
  • Customizable settings for what to do upon timer expiration.
  • Optional feature to warn before stopping timer - great for timing important things such as time spent working at home which you don't want to accidentally reset.

What's new in this version:

Chimoo Timer CommentaryNice app -- one suggestion - Version: 1.3.1, 1/18/2006 02:17PM PST

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.

Chimoo Timer ReviewAmazing! - Version: 1.3.1, 12/8/2005 11:35PM PST

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.

I needed a simple stopwatch like app. Simply start when I want and stop when I want. This app does that very well. The voice recognition is good as well. Thank You for the freeware.
