InerziaTimer is a simple but powerful countdown/chronometer/alarm clock for the Mac, completely written in Cocoa. You won't lose a second again, with InerziaTimer! To discover all the amazing features of InerziaTimer, click on "Key Features" above this text.
What is InerziaTimer?
It's a chronometer!
InerziaTimer does exactly what real chronometers do: if you can measure it with a professional chronometer, you can do the same with your Mac. With a precision of 1/100 seconds, you'll be able to time about everything with a precision never seen before. And there are features for every need: simple shortcuts, laps, export and customization are all available in InerziaTimer.
It's a countdown!
Even digital wristwatches have a countdown built-in, so why your Mac doesn't have one? InerziaTimer is the lightest and fastest countdown software available for your Mac: it starts up in about 3 seconds, uses only 22MB of RAM* (iTunes, for example requires about two times the memory of InerziaTimer) and it's only 2MB on your disk!
It's an Alarm Clock!
Version 2.0 introduces the Alarm Clock: are you tired of work? Take a comfortable sit, starts iTunes and set up InerziaTimer to wake you up in 15 minutes! That's all: InerziaTimer will do the rest**!
It's the app that your Mac wants!
InerziaTimer uses the latest technologies available in Mac OS X Leopard and higher, to ensure the best user experience: 64bit support, low CPU/RAM usage and other great things like these, are our keywords in building InerziaTimer. Try yourself: you'll be amazed!

Key Features
It's not just a chronometer
InerziaTimer includes all the feature you need to time what you want! You can pause the chronometer and even register laps to export them later: all this features are available directly from your keyboard, using simply and intuitive keys connection.
It's not just a countdown
InerziaTimer is also a countdown: use it to countdown a special event, the returning of your favorite TV Show, or whatever you'd like to countdown! And if something stops the event for a while, just click "Stop": when you'll be able to restart the countdown, clicking "Continue" will make InerziaTimer start from the point it was.
It's even an Alarm Clock
Countdown is great: even better if you can set up it to a precise date. Say "hello" to the new Alarm Clock feature!
Control everything from your keyboard
We have 26 letters and a lot of other keys on our keyboards, so why we use them only to write? InerziaTimer can be controlled directly from the keyboard: start a countdown, set-up the chronometer, stop, register the lap and export, all from the comfort of your keyboard. So, just relax your hands on the comfortable keyboard: they'll thank you!
Customizations: InerziaTimer loves them!
Everything looks better and works better, if you customize it: make your own InerziaTimer by messing around with the Preferences > Display window! The only limitation you have is... well the Mac OS X environment (because we hate applications that build their GUIs while starting: they're so annoying and they're not good OS X citizens)!
Customize: Take 2
The GUI is not the only thing you can customize: even the way InerziaTimer will notice you that a countdown is completed, is completely customizable. Set the text to show, the application to launch, the sound to play and even a phrase to pronounce!
Automatic Update System
With the built-in Automatic Update System (based on Sparkle, to ensure the maximum level of security and reliability) you won't miss an update anymore!
