macOS timer for focus blocks

I'm an on-again, off-again pomodoro guy. Or not even pomodoro, really. Just using a timer to keep myself focused for a block of time.

After trying a half-dozen apps for this, and paying for a handful of them, I've realized that all I really want is a little timer that's always visible without intruding. Bonus points if it makes a sound when it's done.

Behold: the macOS timer app.

It does everything I want. And it's scriptable via Shortcuts. I've been using it for a few months now and haven't looked back. Bam. 💥
