Customer Reviews
nice for quick reminders
Gestimer makes it quick and easy to set a timer, and it uses notifications to let you know when the time is up. I used notification preferences to turn off the sounds for Gestimer and opted to use an Alert when the time is up. This works great for me because it’s silent, yet the Alert stays on the screen until I acknowledge it, so I can’t miss it. I couldn’t find another app that had a silent alarm except for one that kept crashing.
Note that if you want a sound, it does that by default. You can also sync it with Reminders which creates a group of reminders for Gestimer. This does let you set reminders further in the future than you can with the drag and drop which goes out about 7 hours. You could also create ones that repeat every day.
The only improvement I would like is to be able to tell it to repeat the timer automatically; like when I complete this 20 minute timer, automatically start another 20 minute timer.
My Mac’s hard drive is a timer museum
I’ve tried numerous timers over the years. Gestimer is the best. When you set a timer, it shows both the duration and the time of day — this may seem like a small point, but it’s an extremely helpful feature that very few timers include. It’s fast and easy to set a reminder, it shows the remaining time in the menubar, and it's reliable.
I use a different app when I need a timer to repeat. Although Gestimer lacks a repeating timer function, it deserves 5 stars for being the best overall timer I’ve ever used.
Not what it says it is!
If you want an app that “You could also create ones that repeat every day” as this one states in the second paragraph, DO NOT get this one. It DOES NOT do it. I went to there website after purchasing where they stated at this time it did not have this capability contradicting it’s own claims. I had to call Apple to get my money back. If you want it for little reminders, it will be fine. I just don’t like companies that do not keep there word. Hope this helps.
