    "Great product -- except with Spaces"

    January 31, 2009  |   By skrprod

    Version: Watcher 5.2

    Pros

    Great program that allows you to set timers on individual programs.

    Cons

    Apparently, it does not work with Spaces. The user can just go to a different Spaces window once time runs out. Maybe the manufacturer will create an update?

    Summary

    Great with the older operating systems.

    "beware"

    November 26, 2005  |   By andysternberg

    Version: Watcher 3.0.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    this crashed my computer with repeated "you only have one minute to use your computer messages."

    This may work if settings are adjusted before the computer is shut down, but I did not adjust settings, and eventually (after hours) realized that Watcher was teh problem and I had to remove it from StartUp Items. Its trashed, and everythings OK

    The program itself does nothing but tell you how much time you are on, it seems
