Widget Watch: Minutes 2.0.1

You may remember us talking about Minutes back when it was first released in April 2007. A lot has changed since then to make Minutes even better than what we first thought. If you're looking for a great dashboard widget timer that is just as Aqua-licious as the built-in timer for iPhone, then look no further than Minutes.

Since we first looked at Minutes, Nitram+Nunca has added:
  • Removed Growl support in favor of their own unique system
  • Changed beep for unique sounds
  • Volume fading
  • Plus many bug fixes
All in all, this is one of the nicest widget designs that I've seen in a while. When your timer is up, you get a small, nicely designed pop up dialog that you can click to stop the timer. You can download Minutes from the Nitram+Nunca website for free.

Sorry guys don't you think there are just too many widgets these days? Take a stand and create a nonsense widget yourself.

Yeah, I was really surprised. I really liked having the Growl notification. Would very much like to have it back. The volume fading is nice though.

Now I'm no chronometry expert but it looks like that clock is displaying "54 feet 31 inches". What's up with that?

Those symbols can be used for hours and minutes, respectively.

If the biggest change is that they removed a feature, I think I'll just stick with my current version.

Interesting that they took Growl support out. I've had nothing but trouble with network Growl. Not sure that's it's not some anomaly on my own network though, I don't see many other people having the problems that I have.
