GCOGHILL  Excellent timer app! Very odd this hasn't been done before, but just about perfect as-is.

SUNHILL2227  This is a great little application that does what it says. There are plenty of countdown timers available in dashboard, but for what I use it for, dashboard is really inconvenient. I'd suggest the option of using a different alert sound than the system alert sound. Otherwise it's great.
