TinyCal Quick Timer, difficult with iCal
petrologist- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />My memory-limited machine won't run iCal. Also, iCal is not suited to quickly setting a 5 minute or hour alarm (to stretch). When my granddaughter appears, I've used it to instantly have it beep every minute, continually, for 'hide and seek'. A Growl notification appears that my alarm has been going off, then changes to my alarm has gone off. Though iCal's long-term alarms are designed well for careful planning, TinyAlarm is the program I had long sought for the unanticipated, simple alarm, as when baking from another room. Appears appropriately as a tiny icon on the status line of the Desktop's menu bar. A click & set takes about 5 seconds. Its tiny interface takes up little chip memory. The photo above shows TinyCal next to it (as the day of the month), and the two supplement iCal nicely. Does only one thing, and does it well. Though I can't run iCal, I found TinyAlarm & TinyCal offered what I most needed from iCal. I use each several times a day.
Love it!

- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I concur with user comments - SOOOOOOOO good to see bloat-free, simple little apps like this. My only TINY quibble is I'm not keen on the alarm sounds, tho' i understand this is to keep it tiny & simple. But I'd love the ability to personalise the sound IF it didn't complicate the lovely simplicity. GREAT JOB developer! CHEERS! (Mart, Warsaw, Poland)

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Nice, simple little program. Functions seamlessly. While there are other, more dynamic alarm apps. most, to my knowledge, sit either in the Dock or on the desktop. This one sits, unobtrusively, in the menubar. An earlier review mentioned Growl! integration. Mmm...not sure that's necessary really. Set this to repeat mode; that should provide sufficient, repetitive visual stimulus, particularly as it's accompanied with the sound alarm also.
Would like to use this, but...

- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Some of the features just don't work. The "Repeat until cleared" feature worked once and then never again. The control-click for snooze never worked, at least not on my computer. Maybe the develper has some suggestions.
simply perfect
