This app has had a graphical bug ever since Lion came out over six months ago. All the buttons along the bottom of the app are greyed out. The devs. web site says they are working on a fix, but after all this time it seems doubtful. They have ignored requests for an update on the Lion fix. Looks like this app has been abandoned. Do not purchase this app.

Time to buy another program, this one seems to be abandoned. No lomger happy with the ugly and buggy interface.

Developer, please at least fix the bug of the 24 hour clock not working sometimes. It's becoming annoying. Emailed you to no avail.

Clumsy interface. I like this app, but it should really have a more unified interface with less clicking needed. For example, having the Actions Editor have to come up in a separate window is annoying. I'd rather have it always showing in a sidebar. But otherwise, good app. Just wish it had an option to perform tasks after the computer wakes up.

Good and affordable software that delivers most of the time.

There's an annoying bug though: With the 24-hour time preference selected it sometimes jumps back to a 12 hour scale (while still in 24-hour mode). If unselected and selected again, the alarm-clock allows a 24-hour scale again.

Suggestions for improvement:
* Possibility to duplicate (or copy/paste) a countdown-timer, alarm-clock etc. It will ease making a new one as usually only one setting needs to be different.

* Right-clicking a countdown-timer, alarm-clock etc. for editing should open a window in which ALL settings of that timer can be adjusted, so title, value, actions etc.

* When a countdown-timer etc. has started, I click away the window (or both when also working with the tracker). When an alarm has ended, I would like to see the timer-utility pop-op automatically. Could be a pref.

* I would love to see the possibility to have both tracker and utility in one window, maybe with tabs maybe, to switch from one to the other. Or even, like in many apps, to have both options: dragging them loose and dragging them back into one window with tabs.

What this sorely lacks is a wake option.

I want to run certain Applescripts when the computer wakes up and would love it if Timer Utility had that as an option, but it doesn't.

This new version 4.06 prompts for an admin password to install a background process the first time the app starts. Even after quitting the app, the background process continues running as "root." The only way to use the app without the background process running appears to be clicking "cancel" when prompted to install the process each app start.

I have no need for wake from sleep feature this process adds and do not want this process running on my computer all the time. Until the dev provides some easy way to start the app without this process, or the prompt to install it each time, I have gone back to the previous version.

Hello, we understand your concern and excuse us for not having considered an option to not prompt for the launch of the helper tool. We will make the necessary changes and post a revision update for this version later today. Thank you.

I sent the dev a message on this issue and within 24 hours he released an update incorporating the change I suggested. The background process prompt can permanently be dismissed and the process does not run unless the user specifically allows it.

Nice work!

I just got caught up in the non-disclosure bit. I had used this app as recently as two days ago with no update window appearing. Today - - one appeared - - and since it only said "bug fixes" - - I thought "Why not?" Now I have nag windows everywhere. I am *not* adverse to helping developers with beneficial apps, and have done so many time. The price for this app is not in question here. It is the tactic. After visiting the web site and finding no 3.5.5 version still available, I hoped I had kept an earlier dmg. Sadly - - I didn't.

With close to 32000 downloads - - losing just one more won't make any difference to the developer. I would have gladly paid your four dollars if you had been open about what was involved. I hope your maneuver was - - and is - - worth it. I have found a replacement app. I guess openness and honesty is a big deal to me.

You can dismiss this comment if you wish - - as you have others. It would be nice if you at least offered the old version on your site so you gave people the choice of that. I could have agreed to that - - and probably bought the update.

I loved version 3. I'd be glad to pay for version 4, but unless the restrictions on modifying the .app package isn't lifted, you can count me out. I *need* the freedom to change the icon, and perhaps even the resource files (think graphics etc) of an application. I do understand that you are trying to keep piracy down to a minimum. I'm just not happy with the way you are doing so.
Still, I do wish you the best of luck with version 4, Juan.

Though we can understand why you'd want the ability to modify the Resources folder for customization, but this is licensed software. However, we will explore the possibility of allowing what you desire in an upcoming update; we'll see what we can do. Aside from that, thank you for your comments.
