MenubarTimer

Small timer app that lives in menubar

• Counts down from 5, 25, or 45 minutes
• Counts down until the next whole hour
• Add extra 5 minutes to timer when running
• Optionally displays OS notification with/without sound after countdown is done
• When running, shows only the countdown (like 13:03) and no icon
• Works with dark/light color scheme

Hat tip to Camillo Visini for this blog post that I based my app on.

Setup

This is a Python3 app built with Rumps.

$ python3 -m venv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 menubar-timer.py

Build MacOS app

$ python3 setup.py py2app

Todo

• Make actual .icns file so that menubar icon will look good in notification
• Turn sound back on after Eval Talk timer is finished/gets stopped
• Get version info in app file
• Find a way to build properly on ARM architecture. Workaround to get running on M1/2 is downloading .app file from GitHub, which builds for Intel architecture, and runs via Rosetta
