This is even better than the countdown timer I use on my linux machine. I appreciate the simplicity along with the sophistication of a user-configurable text-to-voice message.

Perfect, just perfect! Could not be simpler and more efficient.
Thanks a lot for this, and giving it for free.

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

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.
