Timer

Design intent: Set a subtle but informative timer the moment you realize you need one.

• Type "timer" at the beginning of a note to see the tutorial.
• Unlike Keywords, Timer commands can be activated at the beginning of any new line.

Commands

• timer — Starts a stopwatch
• timer 3.5 / timer 3:30 — Starts a countdown timer for 3.5 minutes
• timer 5: Do laundry — Title a countdown timer
• timer 5 1 — Starts a pomodoro timer with 5 minutes of work and 1 minute of rest
• timer pomo — Starts a standard pomodoro of 25 mins / 5 mins
• timer p — Pause / Resume timer
• timer r — Restart current timer
• timer s / timer 0 — Stop timer

Notes on titles and controls:

• Titles can contain colons — the title starts at the first colon that isn't followed by a number, so timer 5: Errands: bank, post office keeps the whole title.
• You can also click the timer to pause, or double-click it to stop.

Shortcuts

• Esc (while timer is running) — Stop timer

Settings

• Pause timer when quitting the app — On | Off
• Show time left in the menu bar — On | Off (Pseudo Menu or Traditional Menu mode only)
