Jau Alternatives
Jau is described as 'timer app that also plays music while displaying elapsed time. It will generate automatically playlists from your media library and play those when the timer runs. This way you can use it as an workout app but also for other activities'. There are six alternatives to Jau for Mac, Windows and Online / Web-based. The best alternative is Ethervane Stopwatch, which is free. Other great apps like Jau are TimeLeft (Freemium), TimerApp (Free), Timer (Free, Open Source) and Dial (Paid).
