Countdown Timer Pro

Create highly customizable countdown timer overlays with ease using Countdown Timer Pro, a completely free macOS app. It's the perfect tool for work sessions, focus sprints, event timing, or simply keeping track of time visually.

EFFORTLESS CREATION

Just click and drag the Countdown menu bar icon—the farther you drag, the longer the timer. Release to instantly place a sleek timer overlay anywhere on your screen.

FULL CONTROL & CUSTOMIZATION

• Timer Control Menu: Hover over a timer to access quick actions—move, resize, adjust time (by dragging), pause/resume, open the Countdown Manager, or close the timer—all directly from the overlay. • Click-Through Mode: On hover, timers become translucent and activate click-through mode so you can interact with apps behind them without getting interrupted. • Countdown Manager: Manage all your timers from one central hub. Set exact start and end dates, create recurring timers (daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals), and fine-tune every detail.

CUSTOMIZE THE LOOK

• Flexible Time Display: Choose from 7 time units (seconds to years) or display time as a percentage. The app automatically selects the most readable unit based on the remaining time. • Visual Options: Personalize each timer with custom fonts, background styles, opacity, and progress ring settings like thickness, shadow, and track color. • Color & Themes: Apply solid colors or create angular gradients with up to three colors. Save your designs as reusable color themes for consistency across timers.

ADVANCED FEATURES

• Start-Time Visibility: Optionally keep timers hidden until their start time. • Custom Notifications: Set alerts for when a timer finishes. • Window Behavior: Choose how timers behave—keep them always on top, act like standard windows, or go borderless for full placement freedom. • Default Configuration: Define default settings for new timers, so your preferred style and behavior are applied automatically. • Other Options: Reverse progress direction, hide the Dock icon, enable hover-to-open timer control menu, and more.

FOR POWER USERS

Speed things up with custom keyboard shortcuts tied to overlay actions. If you want a distraction-free look, you can even hide the Timer Control Menu entirely and use only shortcuts when hovering.

Whether you’re managing deadlines, counting down to a big event, or just want a visual reminder of passing time, Countdown Timer Pro gives you the flexibility and control to make timers fit your workflow.
