Tea Timer
Software rave corner.
Tea Timer is a great little Mac program for setting simple alarms. You can set it to go off at a specific time (like an alarm clock) or after a specific interval (like a kitchen timer). While it’s running, it displays the time remaining in the dock. Tea Timer does one thing, and it does it well.
I use it all the time to force myself to stop what I’m doing. I’ll give myself 15 minutes to flip through NetNewsWire, or five minutes to write this email. Or even, “5 minutes to write this blog post on Tea Timer.” It’s a fabulous little feedback device.
