Awareness Timer for Mac is a minimalist timer app that doesn't interrupt your flow.
Originally designed to help you combat RSI (CANS) by nudging you every x minutes, Awareness can help you keep time for plenty of activities: Pomodoro, a countdown, and even meditation.

‣ Countdown timer
Awareness lives in your Mac's menu bar. It counts down from x minutes to 0. When the timer reaches zero, it restarts.

‣ Combat RSI and CANS
Awareness was originally created as a reminder to move every hour or so. This can help you from developing repetitive strain injury (RSI).

‣ Singing bowl & notifications
When the timer runs out, you get a gentle nudge: a singing bowl and/or notification. No forced breaks or lock-out. Do what you want!

‣ Silent mode
In a meeting or on a call? Quickly set Awareness to silent mode to not get disturbed. You can still check the countdown yourself.

“I built this app to scratch my own itch: remind myself to move every hour or so, while coding. That's when I figured – why not release this app for free, and help other people too?”
— Reinder de Vries

Release notes:
Yay! Awareness Timer 1.1 is here. What's new? You can now choose between two timer modes: show elapsed, or remaining. The timer will show how much time remains, or has elapsed, and subsequently counts down or up. Neat! Big thanks to @mtrostyle and @BigMtnStudio for requesting this feature.
