Easiest way to set a simple reminder

Love the simplicity of this app! Works great, looks great, is great!

Pretty simple app. Could be better.

It does what it says and looks cool while doing it but I fee like it could be much more with some additional features. Repeatable timers would be a great start. Keyboard shortcuts for saved timers maybe? What if, for example, I use a French Press to make coffee in the morning and want to save a timer for that process? It would be great if I cloud do that with this app then just activate it from the menu. What is the point in saving old reminders if I can’t reactivate/re-use them? I guess I expected this to be an actual productivity timer rather than just….a timer.

Beautiful, but with difficulties

A very unique and beautifully working app, but setting the time exactly to, say 3:00PM is very difficult. I can suggest a modification. There is a specific amount of length you have to pull from the tray icon to change the number of ‘x minutes by ‘1’. It seems to be about 1mm according to my Macbook Air screen. You may want to increase the amount of length of the pull for some specific x, for example 15minutes, 30minutes, 1 hour, etc so that it is easier to set the time for minutes that are often used. Also, you can increase it for a value of x that makes the moment of alert y:00 AM/PM.

I love this app!

Useful, fun, and beautiful. I’m excited to see the changes that will come in the next versions.

No audible alarm option (at least that I know of)

Very nice, simple etc…but without a option of a audible notification, not worth the cost.

Good app but needs some audio options.

I read some reviews that claim there isn’t an audio alert but that must have been fixed as mine beeps. I would like some sound options as the default isn’t very loud nor is it very pleasant. Overall, I find it useful and worth the money.

Love the mechanics! Need better sound options

Pretty neat app! Just love to set a timer with it. The mutiple timers option is awesome, and I think it is the best app to work for pomodoro organization technique. What I missed is the option to use different sounds to each timer. I would love to have something more like an alarm clock/timer. Please add that feature and I think life hacker people will swarm to buy this app.

Really well done

Really smart and exactly what I needed

Best timer app for the Mac.

I love Gestimer! Pulling on the icon down to set the timer is genius!

Simple and functional

Best simple and fuctional app ever.

So simple, so useful, so perfect

Great app! I used to use my phone alarms and reminders for random timers like taking a break at work, making a phone call at a certain time or refilling my parking meter, but using my phone when I was facedown working on my computer was just counterintuitive. I tried some pomodoro timers, but those work on set schedules, something which is rare for my work days. This app is quick, easy and flexible. Exactly what a timer should be.

Clever…I like it

I spend most of my day in front of an iMac. This is a great tool for quick reminders while I am sitting there. I like the drag and set. It is clever and cool and I love it. If you use a computer in your work, get this today.

Simple, Slick, Effective

This app is apple-esque. It’s simple to use. It’s slick in its implimentation. It does what I need it do. The best little timer for all the little to-dos throughout the day.

Nice

We finally have the option to use 5 min steps which is really neat. But the latest version made Gestimer unusable on any external screen. I have 2 screens attached to my MBP on it only works in the main screen. If I try to use it on all others, the timeline goes crazy outside the screens.

Nice, but one annoying little bug

I found one bug that is a bit annoying. If I quit or run a menu bar app other than Gestimer that physically MOVES Gestimer to the left or right, a line displays between the old an new position. it appears to take the relocation as a drag event. The only way to clear it is to click and drag the menu then release, but in one attempt to do this I managed to lock the menu bar icon completely in the process.

Great app but needs a little more

I really like this app, incredibly easy to use and fun too. What would make this app amazing is to have the option for a countdown timer on the menubar to quickly show you how much time is left for the most recent task. Get that and it’s 5 stars for sure!

Note to developer

"Hi Martin, There was no trouble and Im glad the issue was brought to your attention. Thanks for your very fast response and fixing the matter. After a day of using your app, I can say that it is brilliant and a great help to our small design firm. You may have replaced Post It Notes which have begun to take over every blank wall space.” We all buy many more apps than we’ll ever use. Occasionally, there is an app that becomes a necessity…this is one of them. Best app since Simplenote and equally useful.

Great App

Gestimer is a great example of focusing on a problem and solving it well. I’m very happy with it!

Nice tidy little app that does what its suppose to

This is a neat reminder app. You just drag from tool bar icon and create quick reminders. Its not replacing my other productivity apps, like Due or Omnifocus, but it compliments them well. If you want the ability to quickly create reminders on your desktop, then this app is for you. Its also very lightweight in that its not taking much memory to run in background.

Great and simple app

Super simple but very handy app that allows you to set a timer. Nothing more, nothing less. I love to UI.
