Timer

Timer is an antiprocrastination application that helps in Getting Things Done. It is a simple but effective way to manage your time and to boost your productivity to higher levels. Can be used for programming, studying, writing, cooking or simply concentrating on something important.

It's inspired by the Pomodoro Technique (http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/)

Examples of scripts

Predefined variables in scriple

Cowork with Reminders

Cowork with Evernote

Building notes

Open Timer.xcodeproj once with XCode, then run "make clean no-sig timer" from the command line.

OR

1. Remove Code signing identity if present (should not, but sometimes I push it back)

Xcode 4.3+ (tips from @sashalaundy):

1. Product > Edit Scheme
2. At top set Scheme to "Pomodoro" and Destination to "My Mac __-bit"
3. On left select Archive
4. Type in Archive Name "Pomodoro"
5. Hit OK
6. Product > Archive - Xcode builds and then opens Organizer with archive selected
7. Hit Distribute
8. Choose Export as "Application"

Xcode 4:

1. Build a copy for archiving: Product menu -> Build for -> Build for Archiving
2. Open the organizer: Window menu -> Organizer
3. Create a copy of the application: Hit the Share button in the Organizer
4. Choose "Application" from the drop-down menu, and then save it to your Applications folder.

Xcode 3: (not actively maintained)

1. Should work, but I don't maintain it anymore.
