I had a few stopwatch apps installed but every time I felt frustrated to have to click to make the control appear. I just want to start the stopwatch when I need it, like NOW.
So I created this menu bar app. The stopwatch sits in your menu bar.
One click to start it.
One click to stop it.
Double click to reset it.
Right click to show the menu.
That's it.
Oh no...also, it's free.
If you want to give it a try, it's on the App Store: Mini Stopwatch.
The biggest gift you can give me is a review 😀 🙏.
I once envisioned a countdown timer with a shake effect to signal the imminent end. I'm curious if this is achievable on macOS？
Sleek design and user friendly interface. I use it for cooking, workouts, and even classroom activities. A versatile tool!
love the click sound effect :)
