Gestimer (Legacy) App Reviews

A beautiful and highly useful app

Absolutely love it. Would like to see an iPhone and Apple Watch version that are synced via iCloud.

simple and effective, could use sounds

Works well, has a simple and lovely GUI. I would only wish for one additional thing: the ability to set the sound of my choice as an alarm when the time is up. Having the notification slide silently onto my screen is great when I am in front of the computer, and not so effective when I’ve stepped away from it.

it works great

I use it all the time throughout the day as an alarm for different things. Very effective!

Simple, elegant and easy to use

This is a great, non-obtrusive timer app with a beautiful UI. I love dragging to set the time, and I love the brief little popup that let’s you name the timer if you want. The “alarms” are just system banner notifications, so if you’re looking for a noisy alarm clock that will irritate you until you stop it, Gestiner isnt for you. Having the option for a more noisy alarm would be nice, though I defintitly prefer the system banner notification as the default.

Great simple UI

Great timer that does exactly what is designed to do. UI is clean and simple, I like the drag option.

Great App

Im a developer myself and I find this immensely useful! If there is a better avenue for feature requests, please let me know but it would be great to have the option to re-reminder button prompted upon the reminder time. Basically a postpone until further date option. Just a suggestion but this is by no means a detractor! You should definitely pay the very little amount of $ it costs!

Delightfully and surprisingly helpful

I bought this for the novelty of the simple interaction but find myself using it surprisingly often: - check if coffee pot is done - tea has seeped - laundry’s ready - little odd reminders that aren’t worth a full-fledged task elsewhere I love Things, Reminders, and many larger task apps but this beats the expediency of them all for those little things that are too simple and take too long to capture as a proper task. My only very minor qualms: 1. The menulet icon looks too similar to the Time Machine icon. I frequently confuse the two. 2. I have to drag further than I expect to create a reminder for just a few minutes out. I always briefly wonder when it’ll start working (or why it hasn’t) by showing me the duration of the timer I’m dragging.

worth the couple bucks

very cool

Very convenient!

Very convenient and intuitive. I can tell this app to remind me of non-calendar items that I still need to remember to do at some point during the day. Im a programmer; I need to have a complete focus on my coding, tend not to look at my clock, and this app helps me not to miss things.

Reminders sync is pretty slick!

The addition of being able to sync with Reminders is quite kool! Once you enable syncing via Reminders, the app will create an entry called Gestimer in your Reminders app. Then you can add entries directly to Reminders, without even having Gestimer open, and when you open Gestimer it will have all the entries there, counting down with the earilest one. Nice!

The Best

I’ve used a large variety of timers. Most are acceptable, but Gestimer is the one I now rely on. Setting a reminder is quick and easy. The addition of a menubar countdown in version 1.1 makes this the most useful timer I’ve found. You won’t find faster, more responsive support anywhere. The problems introduced with new features in 1.1 were quickly solved.

Exactly what it is suppossed to be

simple, easy, unobtrusive.

brilliant app

love the simplicity and usefulness of this app, excellent design :)

Qucik, easy, what’s not to like?

It works, it is easy to use and effective. Well done and worthwhile. Recommended

My favorite Mac timer app

Love how fun this is to use, how well it works, and how it syncs to iCloud. Great for setting a timer that will show up on your other devices!

I’ve tried a number of gadgets for my Mac Pro to keep me on task and aware of impending deadlines. Gestimer seems to meet those needs. Simple. Unobtrusive. Helps keeps on track during presentation work on big projected screens with little interference. Nice Job
