EggTimer.app
(v 0.3)

EggTimer.app is a simple reminder application that brings up an attention panel and (optionally) plays a sound at a user-definable interval.  Between reminders, a Progress Pie shows you how much time remains.  You can type any message you want in the Reminder panel and it will be remembered the next time you start EggTimer.app.  It is recommended that you hide the application between reminders.

To set the interval, you can either type the number in the provided field or use the slider until the desired amount of time appears (in minutes). Please note that you can use real numbers with decimal points and numbers less than one minute.  The text field does NOT understand time as in 02:30.  The slider outputs whole integers that range between 0 and 120 minutes.

Setting the interval to 0 (zero) disables the reminder .

The reminder will keep repeating until the interval is set to 0 and the "OK" button is hit or until the application quits.

To reset the timer before the next reminder is due, activate the application and reset the value in the panel.

For now, you cannot choose what sound it plays to remind you.
