It just works and does what it says.
It is free but can be upgraded to pro for 24 euros. However normal stop / countdown functions can be used without limitation for free. For me that's enough.

Just a quick 5 star review and thankyou for this brilliant program.

It does exactly what i need, to set an alarm and have a dialog box displayed with a message, and also periodically make a beep as with digital watches.

The only improvement i could suggest is to consolidate the ui for the different alarms.. but hey, its free and works great.

Thanks.

Apimac Timer is a nicely organized application in many respects, and its developers are generous with the features included in the free version (Thanks!). However, when the Timer, Alarm Clock and Stopwatch play a song in iTunes, both the free and Pro* versions can ONLY PLAY MP3 (.mp3) AND AIFF (.aif) FILES! Apimac Timer cannot play music in the AAC (.m4a), Apple Lossless (which also uses the .m4a extension) or WAV (.wav) formats. That's a major deficiency because AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), created to replace the aging MP3 format, obtains far superior audio quality at the same bit rates as MP3 and is supplanting that old dog so rapidly that it may dominate within a few years. So for Apimac not to support AAC now is a recipe for tepid sales of its Pro version. It’s also problematic for me because 95% of my iTunes library is Apple Lossless files, and the rest is AAC. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t complain about this problem were I only to use the free version of Apimac Timer. But I would want to get the Pro version, so this deficit effectively bars it from my consideration.

Another issue I discovered in the process of writing this review is that Apimac Timer is a bit unstable. It crashed twice upon startup on my Mac OS 10.6.6 Core2Duo 2.4 GHz MacBook for apparently no reason.

[ * It’s possible that these formats are enabled in the Pro version, but I strongly doubt it because the list of Pro features on the developer's website mentions nothing in that regard.]

This would more appropriately be labelled shareware. Access to all the features requires registration to get the "pro" version.

I had a need for a stopwatch that could start with the spacebar, start fast, and stop on a dime. None of the other five stopwatches could do all three, except this one. It can also run full-screen.

Other people may have other specific needs, but if you're timing something that requires getting the starts and stops fast, this is the only candidate.

I found the Eddy Timer 1.2 here in MacUpdate... It works much better than this.

Works fine... But it takes forever to start up.

Does anyone know of a better Timer.

There's nothing different about this "new" version 2. What's changed? Even the same bugs persist. And none of the shortcomings of version 1 have been addressed. Are they just trying to get more people to buy in? One more time on MacUpdate? I'm not impressed.

Any reason for not using iCal. How is it better?

The alarm clock doesn't run as a background process, so you need to launch Apimac Timer and have it running to function as an alarm clock.

Also, changing the alarm time is a bit awkward as you have to click the number and then push up or down arrows to increment the time by 1. You can't just type the new time with the keyboard as you can in the Date/Time System prefs.

You can't have custom alarm schedules. The alarm only functions as an every day (assuming the application is running), or just today.

It's freeware, but you must pay to get the pro features, like iTunes alarm clock.

For free it's an okay start. For the 9.95 pro version upgrade, it better have some bug fixes and free upgrades coming down the pipes.

Dalahast had trouble on 25 May 2010
On opening the new version 7, I am greeted by a lovely box informing me that "an error of type 0 has occurred" with the explanation "Unknown Error". I suppose an interface with only one window, two lines of text, and only one button (OK) is pretty intuitive and easy to use, but it certainly doesn't let me do much.

Oh, I forgot to mention: the application stays open after this happens, and will indeed perform all the other functions it has except the ones it's specifically made to perform. The about box, preferences, etc. can be opened, but attempting to create a new timer from the menu or keyboard results in the same error message.

Quit Apimac Timer and then delete the following folder in you home directory:

~/Library/Application Support/Apimac

Afterwards Apimac Timer 7.x will run as intended.

No problem - I had the same issue with v7.0 and tried several things to make it work (again). ;-)
