Horo — Start timers with fast and easy natural language
Featured

Horo is a free timer app for your Mac menu bar.
Intuitive natural language input makes it fast and easy to start timers.

It's wild that Siri for Mac doesn't allow you to set a timer.

I needed a simple, fast timer app that lived in my Mac's menu bar. When I'm working, I almost always have a timer running so that I can stay focused (and take breaks!) But all the existing timer apps took waaaay too long to create a timer. They were so fiddly! I think that if starting a timer takes more than a second, your timer app sucks. That's why I built Horo. With the natural language input, all it takes to create a timer is typing “45m” and hitting Return. I use it every day, and I think it's pretty neat.

Perfect for a promotion event :)

Nice! Downloaded and enjoying it. 🙂 A useful Pro feature I'm missing is: in the Preferences being able to set if a number (without suffix) defaults to seconds (current behavior) or to minutes (this would be my preferred setting). Any chance you may add this feature? 😉

Thank you so much for making this @_matthewpalmer . The experience is simple and sleek. I am much better in control of time with Horo. Keep up with the good work!
