WatchMe is a feature-rich timer program that can be used to track time for a number of different tasks or events together or independently of one another. You can create any number of timers, give each one name and record additional notes and information about what you are timing – a great solution for those who need to track their time for hourly billing, timesheets and more.
Download the latest version (v 2.1.3) – Released December 18, 2011

Screenshots
Have multiple timers running at the same time. You can also set it so only one timer can be operational at a time – a great way to quickly keep only a single timer running while hopping between tasks.
Timers can display in a variety of formats including fractions of an hour – handy if you have enter fractions of an hour into your timesheets or billing programs.
Track as many timers as you need (grouped into multiple tabs), and add notes to each timer in order to keep track of work you are doing.
Use the “Focus Light” to help you avoid distractions and keep you focused on the work you are doing.

Awesome App!!
I have suggestions:
-Option to set a limit on the number of inactivity warnings or just update a single warning dialog box instead of creating a new box for each warning.
Forgetting to close the app over the weekend requires a lot of mouse clicks the next time at the computer.-Incorporate a calendar into the app.
-Create an event log text file. List timer starts stops.
-Timer tags. Add a tag to each time and then have a summary tab displaying the summation of all timers with the same tag across all tabs.
-An automatic export/clear all timers/delete all timers on certain time each week/month.
Thanks for making such a great app.

Hi, Scott,
I just wanted to express my thanks for making this program. It’s exactly what I was looking for after searching around a lot and trying many other clunky timer programs. Your interface is perfect: one click to stop one timer and start another.
I’ve been using it to find out how much time I spend with my son and how much time I spend working. It really provides an objective measure of how I balance my priorities. You just never know until you track the time.
Now that I’ve spent about 5 minutes writing this message, it’s time to click on the “Exercise” timer.
Thanks again,
David -

Congrats, great software.
I’m a “GTDr” and I was looking for a countdown timer with multiple timers, so I could control blocks of time dedicated to each project I’m working on: 30′ on this, 50′ on that etc.
Although Watchme isn’t a countdown timer, the alerts are just perfect for this. And at the same time, It’s easy to create other timers to measure how much time I’ve spent on each project (what btw is the software’s main purpose). I like the interface too, it’s very easy to use.
I’ve just installed the software, looks good, If it works fine, I’ll certainly make a donation. A countdown mode would be perfect.-
Hi,
I too am a “GTDr” and I make use of both WatchMe and Toodledo (great task tracking app) daily to keep track of my work. You’ll be happy to know that I am working on countdown timers right now for the next version. I make use of alerts the same way you do, but I expect that the countdown timers could also be used in the same way you mentioned. I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying using WatchMe. Stay tuned for the next version – coming soon…
Cheers!

What would be a great feature :
Possibility to recycle all the times automatically after the last one.
For example, you have tasks that are highly repetitive and on the clock, like 2 minute prep time, then a 6 minute activity, then another 1 minute to finish, and it would restart to the beginning automatically for the 2 min prep time again. Add then add a counter to count how many cycles passed.Lot’s of schools and faculties use standardized tests or exams now, with different activity stations, this would save them a loooot of trouble!

I love WatchMe. I use it to manage my studies for my courses and also my programming.
If there’s one feature I’d like, it’s to be able to add an arbitrary amount of time (e.g. type it into a pop-up window). I don’t always remember to start the timer at the right time, but I have a good idea about how long it’s been, so I’d like more fine grained adjustment of the time.
WatchMe is really great, and I’m going to continue to use it. Thanks for it!
