Can anyone recommend a decent free stop watch widget for MacOSX?

Question

I would like something that is simple to use.

Answer 1

Depending on the functionalities you want :

• Simple & Design : iChrono

  

• More features & like a real stopwatch : Stopwatch widget

  

Answer 2

Menubar Countdown is good if you just want to countdown something http://capablehands.net/menubarcountdown

Answer 3

It's not a dashboard widget, but the Apimac Timer application is free (there's a paid Pro version with additional features) and functions as a stopwatch, countdown timer, and alarm clock. Nice and handy.

Answer 4

For counting down a repeating task, Pomodoro is useful (and free): http://pomodoro.ugolandini.com/

Answer 5

Not a widget, but since there's always a browser around, the Timer Tab web app does the trick for me.

Here's a selection of features:

• timer + alarm clock + stopwatch
• works offline
• fullscreen countdown by clicking on the countdown
• keyboard control:
  • →, ←, ↑, ↓: control inputs,
  • f: toggle fullscreen,
  • space: toggle pause
• customizable:
  • audio alarm: any Youtube clip
  • background: any image on the web
• countdown in the browser tab title and tab icon

Now, if Chrome happens to be the browser of your choice, there's also the Chrome app, providing you with some extra features:

• optional sound and Chrome notification
• use the "tab to search" chrome feature to set the timer
• etc.

Now, it's up to you to consider if this is a reasonable alternative to a widget.
