Timers and Pomodoro

Type how long. Beam counts it down in the menu bar.

Start one

Type timer 10m tea, 5 min timer, remind me in 20 min, a compound like 1h 30m, or just a number. Press ↵.

Pomodoro

Pomodoro runs a 25 minute focus session, then starts a 5 minute break by itself.

While it runs

Countdown shows in the menu bar. From the launcher you can Pause, Resume, Cancel, or Add 1 or 5 minutes. When time is up Beam sends a notification, plays a sound and shows a HUD. Sound choices: Glass (default), Ping, Submarine, Hero, Pop, None. Change it in Settings → General. The menu bar also has New Timer.
