More than just a timer

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

This is a nicely executed timer application. In my limited testing (only had it a day), it performs quite well. Saved alarms that auto-start on opening can cut out a click or two from starting a timer for common tasks like moving clothes from the washer to the dryer. Also, as OS X disables "at" by default, this is a really easy way to schedule checking a web page at a particular time. Its flexibility and design open the possibility to use it in more interesting ways, though I think the scheduler will need a little more flexibility to reach its full potential.

The developer is also responsive to feedback.

thanks - cubelogic

Glad to hear SimpleTimer is useful. The GUI is currently being modified to improve ease of use: a preview screenshot is available here. As you can see there's a clear separation between scheduling, actions, and activation. Hopefully the new design will work for everyone. Nightly builds of current development can be found at Cubelogic website. --EP
