Menu bar stopwatch for the Mac

about/

A simple stopwatch built just for macOS. It sits in your menu bar, starts instantly, and stays out of the way.

The keyboard shortcuts work no matter which app you’re in: ⌘⌥S starts and stops, ⌘⌥R resets. The timing engine doesn’t drift over long sessions, and it keeps counting while you’re off doing something else.

No accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions. Open it and start timing. That’s it.
