Mini window

in progress

Manuel Alonso-Martinez

Option to minimize the window to a small square like 2x2 inches, so can float on top of other apps and be parked on a screen corner. Menu bar too small. Clicking will bring up the standard window

Which Stickies?

Scott Prohaska

Philip Young - it's the Stickies app that comes stock on the mac.

This with the timer dial would be amazing, the small widget only shows a number countdown but I’d like to be able to see the dial in a mini window

Andrius Petravicius

Yes! Really need this. Just a clock with the intention and category floating above other apps once you start a Session.

Doug Cox

I am upvoting this but the new widgets on desktop in MacOS Sonoma may solve this need.

Andrius Petravicius

Doug Cox: The desktop widget doesn't solve this. As it will be hidden on desktop behind other apps. Mini window should be floating above other apps, always visible and moveable anywhere on the screen.

Andrius Petravicius: What app do you use before where this is a feature?

Any reason why menubar is not enough?

Andrius Petravicius

Philip Young: There are few, currently been trying out https://www.blitzit.app it has really nice mini timer.

Menu bar is okay, this is more of a nice to have. I feel like just having something bigger with your intention and timer always on your screen could keep you more focused on the task at hand. I'm kinda too used to not to pay much attention to menu bar.

Philip Young: I used Pomello a lot in the past because it is specifically designed for that purpose: https://pomelloapp.com/

Philip Young: Stickies on mac. I will put them in the corners and have them float on top so they are not in the way but still seen. Simple but effective.

Laura Tyler

Philip Young Also I have my Mac menu bar set to disappear when I am not hovering over it so I can't see the timer there. A small window that stays on top would be great.

Philip Young

Laura Tyler: Yeah I've been increasingly convinced that this is needed. Menubar is not enough. I'll work on this after September iOS release
