A timer app that doesn't suck.

Maybe you don't. But setting a timer is usually enough of a hassle that you skip it and wing it. When it takes a second, you start setting them for everything: meetings, breaks, the oven. Give it a week and you'll be on time more often, with a lot less time anxiety.

What you downloaded is the installer, so there's one more step. Double-click the ClickClock file in your Downloads folder. Its name ends in .dmg. In the window that opens, drag the ClickClock icon onto your Applications folder. You'll then be able to open ClickClock from your Applications folder, from Spotlight search or from the Apps launcher.

It blooms right under your cursor with a shortcut or a right-click, anywhere on your Mac. You'll get the hang of it on the first try, and it's made in the same Liquid Glass style as macOS, so it looks like it came with your Mac. It might be the prettiest thing on your screen, and it's a timer.

Press ⌃⌥T, or hold ⌥ and right-click wherever you are, and a ring of eight timers blooms under your cursor. Click the one you want and it starts counting down. If you need a different length, click the middle and spin the dial to the exact minute.

Yes, ClickClock has a Pomodoro timer built in, so you can run focus sessions and breaks on your Mac without a separate app. Click Pomodoro in the menu bar and it takes you through rounds of focus with breaks in between. A soft chime tells you when each one ends, and you can set how long they last.

Yes, as many as you need. If you've got pasta on the stove and a meeting in 20 minutes, you can time both at once. Every running timer shows up in the menu bar, where you can pause it, add 5 minutes or stop it.

A chime plays and a petal pops up in the corner of your screen. From there you can snooze it, repeat the same timer or stop it. You also get to decide how long it rings, anywhere from 1 minute to until you dismiss it.

Yes, all eight of them. Swap in the times you actually use, and while you're in Settings you can also pick light or dark mode, choose your chime, and set how long snooze lasts and how long alarms ring. You can even change the shortcut.

You download it and get every feature for 3 days, without making an account or entering a card. When the trial ends, any timer that's already running will still ring, and you'll need a licence key to start new ones.

Yes, really. You pay €7 once and it's yours for good, including every future update. No timer should be charging you every month.

You get 3 days free first, no card needed. After that, a one-time €7 covers what it costs to keep ClickClock running: Apple's developer fees, hosting, and the work on updates and support.

One licence key covers up to 2 Macs. If you get a new one, you can free up a spot in the customer portal and move your licence key over.

It works on any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, whether it has Apple silicon or an Intel chip.

Yes. ClickClock is signed and notarized by Apple, which means Apple has verified it and confirmed it's free of malware, so it opens like any other app. Your timers and settings never leave your Mac.

Getting into the App Store is a long process, and Apple takes a big cut of every sale. Selling it here keeps the price down, and it's still signed and notarized by Apple.

macOS needs that permission before ⌥ + right-click can bring up ClickClock in other apps. The keyboard shortcut works without it, and granting it doesn't change anything else on your Mac.

Yes. Your timers and settings stay on your Mac, and ClickClock only goes online to activate your licence key and check for updates. It'll work just as well on a plane.
