Gestimer1.2.6

I use it mostly when cooking. Some dishes need exact time to cook (pizza, rice, etc.) When bringing beer home from the grocery story, I dump it on the floor beside the fridge (because there is usually no place left in the fridge). Then in the evening, if I want a beer, I place the cans into the freezing compartment and drag 1 hour down with the mouse from the Gestimer icon in the menu bar. Then I go to my Mac, put on my headphones, start iTunes and totally forget the time. In exactly 1 hour I'll receive a message from Gestimer that my beer has been cooled down to my favorite temperature. I like my beer to be VERY cold, a few more minutes more and the beer would freeze (which I don't want, of course) and a few minutes less wouldn't impart the same taste I prefer. There are several other apps that could do this, but none of them can do it as easily as Gestimer.

Very innovative and works well.

Whoa! Update finally posted. Sadly, still no audible alerts = me still no buy. And apparently no fix for the Bartender bug, either.

Nice idea and great implementation, very useful for everyday reminders.
