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.
