Love this tool. Does the app allow for customizable alerts or reminders to help with time blocking strategies?

@arianna_wright Thank you! Currently, you can set visual and sound alerts for timers. When your countdown reaches zero, the app can notify you with an audio alert and a visual cue. Since the app focuses on minimalism, these alerts are subtle yet effective, helping you stay on track without unnecessary distractions.We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback when you try it out on the Mac App Store!
Looks really helpful. Can the timers be connected to keyboard shortcuts for quicker control without having to switch focus away from what I'm working on?

@caleb_foster1 Yes, Countdown Pro fully supports keyboard shortcuts! You can already use standard macOS shortcuts like cmd+w and cmd+s to interact with timer windows efficiently.
The app's design philosophy is different from traditional applications that require constant attention. Since timers are designed to be ambient and always accessible, you don't need to constantly focus on them. When in wallpaper mode, they're visible whenever you glance at your desktop, providing information without interrupting your workflow.
For quick edits, you have several options:
Hover over a timer for 3 seconds to access editing controls
Use the Windows tab in the menubar to quickly view, edit, or close any active timer with a single click
The entire experience is built to be native to macOS, integrating seamlessly with the operating system. We've carefully designed the user experience to minimize disruption and extra steps, always asking ourselves "What would Steve Jobs think of this?" when making design decisions. :) This approach ensures you can manage your time effectively without breaking your concentration on important tasks.
