Free Beautiful Timers for macOS

Hi IH community!

Today I’m excited to share Liquid Timer, my new (and free!) focus & timer app for macOS, built for students, creatives, and anyone who wants to make time management a little more delightful.

🧪 Why did I build this?

I’ve always wanted a timer that felt native to Mac, visually engaging, and simple—without unnecessary fluff. Most timers either feel too basic or cluttered with features I never use. I wanted something fluid, beautiful, and deeply customizable, especially for my own ADHD and productivity struggles.

✨ What makes it different?

• Drag out circular timers from the menu bar directly onto your desktop.

• Unlimited floating timers—perfect for stacking Pomodoros, tracking parallel tasks, or keeping reminders always present.

• Gorgeous liquid animations show your time “melting away” visually.

• Personalization: Pin timers above any app, choose unique voices for alerts (or import your own sounds).

• Native look & feel—built just for Mac, clean and minimal by design, with no distractions.

🌱 Our mission and process

With Liquid Timer, I’m chasing the bigger mission to build clean, no-fluff, free apps for Mac users. We’re intentionally building in public—with all feedback welcome—and we’re challenging ourselves to ship one focused Mac app every single week.

📝 Seeking feedback and your experience

I’d love for you to try it out (it’s free!) and tell me:

• How does this visual timer fit (or not) into your workflow?

• Any features, tweaks, or use cases I might have missed?

• What helps you stay focused as a founder, maker, or student?

Your feedback and stories will directly shape Liquid Timer’s next steps. Grateful for all the support and the spirit of this community! 🙏
